Me and my gf have been together for almost 3 years now, we’re both young (21 and 20 years old), and she’s been on lexapro since before we started dating. At the start of our relationship, her sex drive was more or less normal, and it was great, but for the past year or so it’s basically fallen off a cliff. I know there are other factors that impact sex drive, but I also know that lexapros sexual side effects can change over time, and at this point I’m fully convinced lexapro is the main reason her sex drive is so low. She also says she isn’t very sensitive down there, and it’s extremely hard for her to orgasm, sometimes to the point of tears and frustration.
We’ve had many talks because at one point we were having sex like once every 3 months, and through all of out conversations we really haven’t really found any cause of the issue or any solution, and I’m convinced lexapro is the culprit. The problem is, she’s very sensitive and shameful about her personal issues, especially regarding sex, so she doesn’t want to talk to her doctor about her issues. Every time I bring these issues up, she always says she wishes she knew how to solve them, or that she wishes she knew what was wrong, but she also has no desire to talk to her doctor about it at all, so I kinda don’t know what to do anymore, has anyone experienced anything similar and has any advice?
