> I did the same thing as you Annette. I quit taking the drug, because of the s/e. The ole symptoms of severe agitation came back with a vengence. I gave in. I thought it's better for me to be able to get along with people than to have a sex drive. It is a major sacrifice for me. I enjoyed sex. I don't have that symptom of depression where I didn't. Funny, I could be suicidal, but not turn down sex. Hmmm Well, I guess I still do have a sense of humor even with this curse of depression. I remember the doc asking me how was my sex life. I said, "Great! How is yours? Doc gave me that look over his glasses. I said, "Yours must not be that good doc. Maybe, you are depressed." I remember the mean glares from the doc, so I better stop on that topic.

> As for enjoying food, I always have enjoyed eating and not gained a bunch of weight. So, I will be ticked off with the Lexapro company if I start gaining 15 pounds like I did with Prozac. It's all about sacrifice to me. One good thing for a more important thing. So, off to the pill cabinet I go.Shadows, Oops, sorry, I answered your post, but addressed it to Wildflower...sorry, it's late and my eyes are playing tricks on me.
