Dear lybrate-user it is very naive to ask such a question psychiatry cannot be practiced like this one who sees a pt physically ,one who has a rapport with pt can only decide what is right. Secondly it you do not trust your doc change your doc or your attitude. Trust and faith are not offer healers than medications.

Escitalopram produces sexual dysfunction very commonly, disucx with your treating psychiatrist and get the medication changed. They need to be given after clinical evaluation. Good luck.
