Escitalopram
depression
"I have been on Lexapro for about 3 weeks now. I've been suffering from bad depression and anxiety pretty much all of my life, and I've tried almost all of the other SSRI and SNRIs. I discontinued all of the others due to horrible sexual side effects or bad sweating and night sweats. I have been really pleased with Lexapro so far; I haven't been sweating at night, which is a real blessing because I had that effect with pretty much all of the other SSRIs. I have noticed a reduction in my libido, but it doesn't seem to affect my ability to have and enjoy sexual activity. It doesn't seem as strong as the others in terms of lifting my depression or anxiety, but I might just need to give it a little more time."
