ok so im on a daily 20mg of lexapro and I was looking up the side effects for it today.
"Decreased sex drive" raised a red flag for me.
Why would someone make a medication that makes you happy only for them to find out later that they cant get it up in bed? It's like your trading one bad thing for another.

It also apparently decreased your reading comprehension, as that's not what 'decreased sex drive' means.

Prozak has that listed as a side effect as well, but I never experienced any problems. It's fairly rare, I believe.

That's a very common side effect with all SSRIs. It's also fairly common that even after you stop taking it you still have a decreased sex drive.

It may say that, but if you're a teenage guy with internet access, i doubt that.
