I stopped taking Lexapro cold turkey three days ago because I was tired of being tired as fuck, having a reduced sex drive, and having soft, tiny boners. I still have all three symptoms. How long until they go away? I was on that shit for almost half a year.
I've heard some people never recover their sexual function. Is there any truth to that?
quitting cold turkey is a dumb idea. Everyone knows you're supposed to taper off. enjoy the withdrawals. I think youd probably be too depressed to fap for a month or two til it wears off..
Couple of weeks I think? Like >>36779823 said you're supposed to taper off, not like going cold turkey will stop the side effects any faster

There wasn't much to taper off of. I'm only on 10 mg which IIRC is the lowest dose. I also didn't have to titrate when I started so I figured it was fine.
Never heard of that. Been on antidepressants for twelve years and still jerk it once a day
Could be days, could be years, could be never. Post ssri sexual dysfunction can be permanent. The fatigue will likely go back to your normal levels within a month or so

Well that's fucking terrifying. Wish the shitty shrink had told me this could last forever before she strong armed me into starting it
I take 20mg and my hardons are much better than before I started. Up the dose?
