> I just switched from celexa to lexapro... on celexa, i had some sexual side effects, mainly less desire and ejac.problems... i switched to lexapro recently - is rash (itchiness really) and/or shortness of breath possible side effects? Are there any ingredients in lexapro that could cause this? I never experienced either on celexa... also, does lexapro REALLY help the sexual side effects? How long to be on it before you notoice a difference?

> *** rash/itch...very low %, not mentionable, might go away with time/ same with shortness of breath. there are no "new ingrediants" in Lexapro. as for sex s/e...it is an ssri, and they are a class effect for all ssri's. It was listed as 9% for ejac delay...but might be higher. for all side effects and efficacy, you might see its true color in 1-2 weeks, but give it 3-4 for a fair trial for yourself. good luck and keep us posted
