A member asked:

Does ecitelopram affect libido?

Yes but: Ssri meds can reduce sexual function. The "numbing" effect van be on the desire but more likely on the organ itself. The penis or clitoris may become less responsive. Consul your prescriber. A lower dose or another agent or antidote may allow for normal sexual functioning.

COULD: It is possible that escitalopram or Lexapro may have an effect on libido as well as on orgasmic dysfunction. Not uncommon with ssri. Discuss with your physician to evaluate for other possible issues.
