Citalopram and fluoxetine did not directly affect penile erection as objectively assessed by rigiscan, although an impairment in the subjective assessment of erectile function was observed, but was significant only for citalopram, and it was thought to be a possible consequence of the delayed ejaculation perceived as erectile dysfunction.

If you have visited a psychiatrist and they have prescribed these medications you should have belief in the doctor. They have the best in mind for you and your loved one. If you have questions regarding treatment you can talk to the psychiatrist who prescribed the medication. I hope this helps. Take care and I hope your mother gets well soon.

As you are improving significantly. Your benzodiazepine dose was stopped and changed to escitalopram only drug to prevent dependence to benzodiazepine.

Good luck.

Hello, since you are on treatment for anxiety, escitalopram is one of the best medicine to help you overcome your symptoms. Though it may cause decreased sex drive or/and libido as a side effect, you don't have to worry because it is reversible on stopping or changing the medicine. You should discuss it with your doctor who will definitely change or moderate the medicine depending on the treatment response.
