I've been on Lexapro for almost 2 years now for my anxiety. It has very little effect on my depressive episodes, but I'd much rather deal with those about once a month if it means not having a single trigger ruin an entire week.

Almost everyone I see talking about Lexapro mentions hyposexuality or erectile dysfunction, but my experience was very different. Now I'm not sexually active nor have I been for the 2 years since starting, but my sex drive has always been high. So while those first few weeks were incredibly disappointing while my body acclimated to the meds, I never stopped trying.

But holy shit, one day almost overnight my libido came back with a fury. I had one of the most violent erections I'd ever had. Ever since that day I've been what I can only describe as hypersexual. I don't know a single person with comparable sex drive, and it takes almost nothing to set me off. Without exaggeration, I am hornier now than I was in puberty, I just have more self control.

This isn't really an issue given my current lifestyle but it runs so counter to what I hear everyone saying that I frequently wonder the cause. Anyone relate?
