Could "inability to orgasm" be just a temporary side effect of Lexapro?

My doctor prescribed 10mg of Lexapro (generic) for my constant anxiety and irritability. I've been on it five days now and I really like it. I am not worried or snappy and my husband says I'm being much more pleasant. The only problem is both times we've had sex since I started lex I... read more

Lexapro - Generic Vs Name Brand?

I was switched from Brand name to the generic without realizing it. Shame on me - I should have known. By the time I caught on to what was going on, I found myself in the Black Pit only those with depression can understand.

How many 0.25mg equal to a 1mg of Alprazolam?

I went to the ER last night because of anxiety and they gave me 1mg of alprazolam and I feel sleepy but relaxed :) but usually my doctor prescribes me 0.25mg which is the lowest dose. I wonder how often and how much should I take to feel relaxed but not sleepy?

My doc just increased my dosage to 30mg of Escitalopram after being on 20mg for 6 weeks with mixed?

... results. I'm in my 4th day at 30mg. Has anyone had success with 30mg and how long did it take to feel the results?

I've just recently started back on Citalopram 20mg for a second time in recent years, I've only been on 20mg for 8 days or so, 10mg 4 days before that. It does seem to be helping with anxiety/panic and depression issues already, if that's possible, but I'm suffering with pretty... read more

Has anyone else been on venlafaxine/Effexor for 23 years? I have been concerned about long term use?

It worked well for my depression in the past. I took 75mg of Effexor XR with no need of increase for years. Was increased to 150 mg a number of years ago. Then the generic venlafaxine. Increased to 200 mg a a few years ago. As of Jan this year couldn't take the XR form due to insurance. Other... read more
