"i&#039;m have been taking lamotragine and have started on escitalopram for bipolar 2. what an amazing turn around. where i used to be extremely reactive and explode in to a rage at any little thing i now feel calm and at peace with the world. i have actually started to feel happy. i always suffered from hypo-sexuality and it was so exhausting to be fighting with sexual thoughts and tension constantly. it&#039;s such a relief that since being on escitalopram this too has stopped. i now see everything from a much more rational perspective. i&#039;ve even begun to really &quot;feel&quot; in love with my wife. sure, it&#039;s one big drawback is that it is an orgasm killer, but i&#039;m finding this is a small price to pay compared to all the benefits. it&#039;s given me my life back"
