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. But at times, anxiery itself can lead to decreased libido. You should discuss it with your doctor who will definitely change or moderate the medicine depending on the treatment response.

Hello lybrate-user sorry to hear about that. The problem you are facing is due to one of the side effects of escitalopram. It is a known side effect but not very common but when compared to other side effects. There are alternative medications which can be prescribed. Do consult a psychiatrist for suggesting an alternative talking into account your health in general.

Dear Jayakrishnan, You need to consult your doctor not only for anxiety, but also for delayed ejacualtion problem. It needs a detailed work up. Escitalopram causes few sexual problem - but mostly it is like erection difficulty.
