Hi,

I encountered some hallucinations and depression symptoms around 5 years back. Since then I am taking Sizodon plus 3 mg (Risperidone) and Nexito (Escitalopram Oxalate). I took Sizodon plus 3 mg and Nexito 20 mg for first 2 and a half years and now since last two and a half years I am taking sizodon plus half and Nexito 10 mg. I don't have any symptoms which I was having before. My problem is that I am not able to perform sexual functions properly (I got married 8 months back, since then I am not able to penetrate my tool due to loss of interest while intercourse) and also I am having the habit of vomitting every morning(Every morning vomit comes out containing saliva and acidic things from stomach, no food particle comes out).
With reagrds to my habits, I smoke around 15 cigarettes per day usually with tea or coffee and I am an occasional drinker. Please please tell me how to get rid of this sexual malfunction and vomitting. Is this because of Escitalopram Oxalate?

This is from a patients fact sheet for lexapro (Escitalopram Oxalate)and as I have highlighted,see your doctor with this concern,that's is why you have a doctor.

To answer your concern about sex and vomiting,Yes,they can be a result of the medications,but not necessarily the ONLY factor which is making these symptoms arise.

Hope this helps,write back if you want,there are others in here with a lot of knowledge in this area.:)

Go for a complete check up.. . chances r that u might be suffering from kidney disorder... cos taking medicines spoil the kidneys,so my suggestion would be to go for a medical check up or check up of kidneys.
