    Antidepressants are often linked to sexual side effects. It sounds like the Lexapro was giving you delayed arousal, but also better staying power, and a more intense orgasm.

    But now you've got a problem because you're running two different drugs in your system and it seems like they are having an interaction that is affecting your performance. Sure, you can throw a third one into the mix to treat the side effects of the other two, but do you really want to go down that road?

    My advice, get counseling for your depression with a view towards weening yourself off Lexapro eventually. You have situational depression, not chronic depression. Which means that the chemical imbalance which is causing the depression is not permanent; it's a side effect of the emotions that you're having related to the loss you've experienced. It can take a while to cope with a severe loss properly (I won't say get over, because you never truly get over some things).

    The goal should always be less drugs, not more.

    BTW, was the Lexapro prescribed by a general practitioner or a psychiatrist?

    tko - you know your stuff. a shrink prescribed the lexapro with the gameplan to ween me off after a year. i saw him today he gave me some viagra with another alternative to change the anti-depressant which i wasnt open to. bottomline the lexapro is working and my mental health should come first. as mentioned before, i didn't bring up the gear. i'm pretty sure he would have walked me out of the office if i didn't agree to stop the aas. so i do feel like i didn't give him the full story. but then again, he did mention the best thing i have going for myself was my hitting the gym since it's linked with helping with depression. using gear prob wasn't what he had in mind har har.

    thanks, guys.

    same supplier and gear.
