Hi Cathrina -
I have also been on Lex for about 4 months, I upped once from 10 mg to 20 mg during that time. I too cannot orgasm easily at all and I used to be an easy & quick "orgasmer" (at the age of 40 even). It takes too long and I usually decide to give up. I'm not sure what to do either. It bothers my husband as much, if not more, than it bothers me.Some say Wellbutrin fixes that problem. Others say taking your Lex right afterward, at night, helps because it starts to wear off. This has not worked for me. I'm about ready to ask my doctor about Wellbutrin, but I hate taking another med!
I guess I'm not much help, but I can certainly empathize with you!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Have been on lexapro for almost 4 months now... a little fatigue now and then but no major side effects... so I thought. Lexapro has saved my marriage. We're once again very connected with very little bickering or resentment towards each other. Thus, this renewed connection in each other has sparked alot more interest in our love life. But, I now have a very difficult time reaching orgasm. Before lexapro I was mulit-orgasmic even while we were having major problems. Now it's a rarity that I even reach orgasm. Has anyone else experienced this?
