I suffer from libido as a result of taking lexapro (escitalopram) for g a d.my dr stated to inject my penis rather than viagra.am i correct. thanks?

Lexapro (escitalopram) kills libido: I suspect the Lexapro (escitalopram) is the culprit. You have another option for an anti-depressant which can be an add on, buproprion. I suspect there is more to your story if the doctor has advised injections instead of a trial of Viagra or the like. Personally, I would try other options for my patient prior to advising injections. Have a frank discussion with your doctor regarding the anti-depressant.
