I've read that Celexa may be a better medication in that respect, and one assumes that Lexapro might be better again.Celexa is better for me than Zolimp; I'm sorry, Noloft..Zoloft. A lot better but I take 4 drugs total which include Wellbutrin SR and Adderall XR.
Lexapro could be better but I don't get my hopes up, so to speak. I hope it's a great drug.
Is there any hard data on which SSRI has the least effect on libido? Is Lexapro really any different?Hard data, hmm. I've heard Prozac is best with Celexa second, but it's a toss offxxup.

Not being a psychiatrist could mean this is good info. Nolimp 50mg-Celexa maybe 10mg. Very hard to A/B SSRI's. Noloft 50mg-Lexapro 3-5 mg.Good luck....Phil
