> >Like you, I've been taking zoloft for many months, and the sex drive problem was really frustrating. Many pdocs (psychopharm doctors or psychiatrists -that's the short word) will prescribe wellbutrin for this condition, (which is helping my anxiety, strangely) but since you have anxiety issues, maybe the lexapro is the way to go. Have you ever taken any benzodiazepines for anxiety? Klonopin, valium, xanax, etc.? They are very effective and have a good side effect profile. lots of pdocs are wary of prescribing them because sometimes people have a hard time getting off of them (personally I have a harder time withdrawing from antidepressants... but that's just me).

I did some research on Wellbutrin but it seems to only work well for depression and not as much for anxiety. I am starting the Lexapro in a couple days so I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed and find something that works. Thanks for the help!

I hope Lexapro works for you. It worked very well for me and probably was the fastest working AD I've taken, results within a week, if memory serves and better in the sex drive department I think. Best wishes to you from me for success!!
