Yes, makes sense: Depression may cause a loss of interest in sex. If Lexapro (escitalopram) has helped your depression, your sexual drive may increase. Unfortunately, in many people it can also interfere with orgasm. Please discuss this with your psychiatrist since there are options that may help you retain sexual interest and enjoyment.
