A member asked:
If escitalopram at low dose of just 5 mg causes me headaches from time to time. then will all drugs in ssri class cause me headaches? or it may be wise to switch to fluoxetine. i am also not able to get any erection while taking escitalopram?

Yes, you can change to a different SSRI as a trial, not all SSRIs have the same adverse effects.
