****** sorry so hard so far...I wish your dr hadnt switched you to start with, Lexapro is supposed to be for new patients, or those who are not happy with their current AD due to s/e or lack of efficacy...you were not a candidate to switch. (at least not for sex s/e reasons only). Plus your dr didnt even rx the right dose. Even though you have reduced the mg...it might still take time to adjust to that specific mg for a wk or so...can you give it some more time at 15mg? Or do you want to still go back to Celexa?
