Well, I am sitting here looking at my first box of Lexapro. I have been on 100mg of Zoloft a day for a year and REALLY got tired of the sexual side effects. I was told by a neurologist after eight years of testing for an unknown equilibrium disorder that I had an inner ear siezure disorder,This problem was so bad I had to reire at the age of 32. and she put me on Klonopin and Zoloft. .After three days of basically sleeping, the disequilibrium went away. I had a life after eight long years. I could walk without a cane, I could drive again, I WAS LIVING. I moved to my old himetown and he got my records from the neurologist, and I was just informed that she concluded my disorder was of a psychotropic nature...I find this extremely hard to believe since I went to three phychiatrists, and each of them told me I was of sound mind and well balanced considering the nature and severity of my illness. Now I'm told I made this all up in my mind and had NO LIFE FOR EIGHT YEARS. I'm finding it all hard to swallow, especially after having tests done showing an imbalance in my ears....Needless to say, the klonopin helps the anxiety caused by the equilibrium imbalance( a very common side effect of disequilibrium is severe anxiety) a great deal but now I am faced with a delema...Do I return to the Zoloft and continue with the sexual side effects, or do I give this Lexapro a shot and hope for the best. I'm afraid I'll sleep my life away from all I've been reading and lord knows I dont want the side effects I had from the Zoloft. The last week I have been completely off Zoloft and yes I feel off kilter , so to speak, but my love life has been a godsend....I need help here folks....BAD
I know my day to day life means more than a damn orgasm, but I am getting married soon, and well..you know. I fullfilling honeymoon would be a memorable thing!!!

I fullfilling honeymoon would be a memorable thing!!!I think that the sexual side effects from Lexapro may be short lived -- you may want to posit this on the Lexapro thread, but from what I've read there, some people have reported a lessening of the sse's, and others are taking Wellbutrin in addition to their Lexapro to help with the sse's too.
