I used to take Lexapro when I had serious anxiety issues caused by my once insane work and travel schedule. I was starting to have serious anger issues on top of the anxiety and would fly off the handle over really simple shit, so I decided to ask my doctor for something to take the edge off, as I knew that wasn't me and I didn't want to continue that way.
Lexapro is supposed to be the best anti-anxiety for men to take because, unlike Paxil, the sexual side effects are minimal. Paxil will literally rob you of whatever sex drive you have, and if you finally decide that you want to have sex one day you can forget about climaxing. My ex was on it for a while and we went from having a great sex life to absolutely none at all, since I would literally have to pack a lunch and be there all day if I wanted to make her cum. She would get so frustrated at not being able to it would literally make her cry.
Lexapro made me a bit tired the first few weeks and noticeably lazier than I was used to being, but it did calm my mood considerably and it really helped when I was on it. It does fuck with your sex drive a bit, but not to the point that you don't want to have sex at all...more along the lines of you just won't go out of your way to get it...
