"i&#039;ve taken escitalopram before and it worked good for my anxiety but i stopped taking it after about two months cause i felt better.  the shortness of breath came back and takes a while to go away.  i can&#039;t even exercise anymore due to it.  i had to resign from the fire academy cause my body could not keep up.  i&#039;ve always been fit.  anxiety can be really frustrating because of the physical symptoms.   escitalopram did work for me and fast like within days.  i also had problems having sex, and i love sex.  i was very sexually active in high school and short after until i hit 22.  i&#039;m 28 now.  i have good and bad days, mostly bad.  i want my sex life back, and i want to be able to work out like i used to.  anyone else have sob?"
