Agreed.
Personally, I've been on Celexa (the precursor to Lexapro) off and on for years (just went back on it almost a month ago after about a year off due to health insurance issues) and I can say with all honesty my sex drive was terrible off of the drugs because of my depression and anxiety problems. I would literally stop my SO in the middle of sex occasionally because of anxiety, because I was so unable to focus on the moment.
The drugs haven't diminished my sex drive at all; if anything, they've let me remember the sex drive I used to have.
