Sexual side effects of anxiety meds

So 1 the side effects of Lexapro is suppose to be less sensative take longer to climax....seems like it does the oppisite to me...i use to be able to last a long time before nutting, but damn it seems like now its wham bam thank u mam.....anyone else have this ?

I never took that one. But have take a few. Depoke is minimum sexual but makes more passive. So she better have one heck of a deal. Zoloft I could get up or nut for 33 days and it came out like rubber. Benadryl just makes me tired. Zofram.. the best since you can stomach any thing. Even if can't get hard you can eat the cake with out picking. Alcohol just makes me tired. But there a lot out there.

The medicine may cause you to bank a load which will make easier to nut. If you ain't got a load to deliver, you ain't got it

Among sexual side effects, I believe the most common reported with SSRI is decreased sex drive in general; then less common is ED. Talk to your doctor. The best treatment for anxiety is exposure therapy. If you have GAD it may be a little harder to treatment. But if you have a specific diagnosis, such as OCD, then treatments are more well established.

Exposure therapy, lol when you get nothing but hurt it just make it worse.

@footfein75, I have been on and off Lexapro for years. I have the more common SSRI response of the “delayed orgasm” but the faster orgasm is obviously also a response. I can’t post a photo but here is a snippet from AI describing the main takeaway.


Key takeaway
• Delayed orgasm = most common SSRI effect
• Faster orgasm = uncommon but does occur
• The difference is driven by baseline anxiety, neurochemistry, and cognitive control, not “something wrong”

Sexual response is not just genital—it’s a brain-body system. SSRIs alter the brain first, and the bedroom effects follow in different directions depending on how that system was tuned to begin with.


So, your response is also well documented, just not as common. I would also recommend talking to Dr for a more viable solution if it’s affecting your sex life enjoyment
I’m interested in this type of stuff so feel free to PM me if you have more thoughts ��
