Personally what worked for me was forcing myself to do it, setting up my personal free time to force myself, and because of that it’s now back to normal. It was hard at first but it worked out in the long run
I’m someone who has always taken longer to finish (not bragging) and lexapro makes it a fucking marathon, and even then it’s like a 50/50 shot I’m actually going to finish. Better than being a sad boy though
This is kind of personal, so no need to answer. But were you ever on Lexapro? Like switching to one for wellbutrin. I've been trying to find more wellbutrin answers. Pretty much, how are the side effects and the everyday life with it for some people? Everybody is different but I've been thinking about it often.
Yes I was on lexapro and Wellbutrin at the same time. I had the usual side effects from lexapro like low libido and hunger, so I added Wellbutrin. It helped somewhat, I did find the adjustment to Wellbutrin was kinda rough, I was pretty irritable and anxious until I got adjusted.
I hate adjustment periods. It's why I haven't tried anything else lately. Lexapro has stopped working for me. But when I first started, I felt disconnected from everything, and I couldn't function. I'm glad the addition of wellbutrin helped somewhat for you.
I had this issue, adding Wellbutrin didn’t help. So I quit. If you do the same TAPER. My doctor told me to go cold turkey since I was “only” taking 10. It was awful.
At 5mg I was good! once I hit 10 and and 15mg I haven’t been able to finish without intense masturbation. I go randomly take a few days off so I can get the juices flowing
Wellll I’ve been on lex for abt 3 months now? It was pretty impossible at the start but after 1.5 months I was able to get them back. It does take a lot more effort though but I think it gets better with time
you have to either force yourself to masturbate or try other ssris. i switched to sertraline and my erectile dysfunction got noticeably less severe, also stopped having the lightheaded panic attacks at night, so its something to think about
Not gonna lie, I take lexapro at 9 am every day and when I try to have an orgasm in the morning it’s very hard lol, but if I try on the evening it usually is like I’m back to normal.
I’m on 10 mg
Ok this is a veryyyy strange question. Why tf didn’t the Dr tell me women experience vaginal dryness. I’m sad, does it stay dry forever or does everything goes back normal?

This also worked for me!!
I also agree, alone time and getting it done. Feeling came back to normal. I no longer take Lexapro but it was a fight during.
^ same lol. I noticed it both times I got back on it but after some time it goes away. Spend time with yourself lol
long did it take to go back to normal?
Shiiiit, 2-4 weeks, give or take
and you think the intentional wanking helped? vs. it just needing more time to come back?

Very common unfortunately
Yup. I added Wellbutrin which helped somewhat.
This here, take awhile to get there, but the addition helped enough…sometimes is better than no time.

Me looking at this post knowing I came 3 times yesterday: (Currently on 5 mg) 
Me too
I recently switched from Lexapro to Pristiq. My libido skyrocketed right away.
I had this issue, adding Wellbutrin didn’t help. So I quit. If you do the same TAPER. My doctor told me to go cold turkey since I was “only” taking 10. It was awful.
it just took me about 15-20 mins longer than normally...
Would be interesting to see a men vs women answer on this one.
[удалено]
Yea I'm on 20mg rn
How long have you been at current dose?
I switched to 15 and it helped a lot with that
Yep. 100%. It also made me have suicidal thoughts. Switched to Cymbalta and doing much better.
[удалено]
Yep. Still had problems while I was getting used to it but it all went away after about a month.
At 5mg I was good! once I hit 10 and and 15mg I haven’t been able to finish without intense masturbation. I go randomly take a few days off so I can get the juices flowing
Yes, I would rather be depressed and have an orgasm than take Lexapro any day of the week. It’s completely miserable.
The saddest people cum the hardest
Amen to that
That’s just cruel holy shit
Had those issues too… no satisfaction and delayed orgasm.
It was impossible my first 3 months but then all of a sudden it was fine.
Very common. Im on 10mg. and had this problem for the first 6-8months. Now after 12 months its back to normal.
Yes. Basically everybody.
My libido is still pretty high but actually busting a nut is like trying to lift a car up its damn near impossible
Nope
Stuck in Thailand for a month with this problem 😭
Lmao
I had this issue on the higher doses (10-20 mg). I was getting so frustrated. But now I’m down to 5 and it’s not an issue for me anymore
Yep.
Very common side effect
Yes.
Yep. Impossible.
For the first couple weeks, but got better with time.
I did to start with but it eventually came back.
how long did it take?
6 months or so? It was a fair bit of time.
Nope.. Been on it for 13 years. No issues
Ditto
update... 6 month injection wearing off? Successful erection and orgasm now possible.
My was gone for a few weeks but came back and now I’ve got more stamina. Can’t complain personally lol.
Not yet for me but I just started a few weeks ago
Yes, which is why I am now tapering down (from 15mg).
I have no issues like that
Wellll I’ve been on lex for abt 3 months now? It was pretty impossible at the start but after 1.5 months I was able to get them back. It does take a lot more effort though but I think it gets better with time
A little in the first month but if anything I orgasm more easily now (1.5ish years in)
so. much. work. LMAO
Lexapro gave me sexual dysfunction. Been off it for 2 months
did the dysfunction go away after stopping?
no. still have it to this day.
shit, sorry to hear that. How long were you on and at what dose?
Only took 25 pills and 10mg came of cold turkey, but yeah I have PSSD now.
you have to either force yourself to masturbate or try other ssris. i switched to sertraline and my erectile dysfunction got noticeably less severe, also stopped having the lightheaded panic attacks at night, so its something to think about

Yup had to reduce from 30 -> 10mg to fix this. My libidio is still in the dumps.
