Loss of sex drive from lexapro (escitalopram). is this a normal side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is normal in that it is common. A psychiatrist can either prescribe another medication to attempt to remedy this or switch to a medication that has less severe side effects in this regard. I would talk to your prescribing physician. Stay safe!
