Nexito (Escitalopram 5mg) is commonly prescribed for anxiety, and while it can sometimes cause mild sexual side effects like reduced libido or delayed ejaculation, these don’t affect everyone and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Since you are newly married, it’s natural to be concerned, but managing anxiety is equally important for your overall well-being and relationship. If you notice any issues, your doctor can adjust the dosage or suggest alternatives, so it’s best to stay in touch rather than stopping the medication abruptly. Regarding baby planning, Nexito is generally considered safe, but it’s always advisable to consult your doctor before conception to ensure the best approach for both you and your future child. Anxiety itself can affect fertility and sexual health, so keeping it under control is key. A balanced lifestyle, open communication with your partner, and medical guidance will help you navigate both mental health and family planning smoothly. If concerns persist, discussing options with your psychiatrist and gynecologist can give you clarity.

Hi Nexito doesn’t have any major side effects on sexual health It helps in restoring the sexual desire and your sexual performance , which might have been impacted due to your anxiety disorder It doesn’t have any side effects in terms of you starting the family or functioning of your reproductive organs. Some people might experience a delayed orgasm/ejaculation with nexito.This also is helpful for many people to engage in sexual activity for a longer duration and it results in increased chances of sexual satisfaction in your partner.

While nexito can cause sexual side effects, 5mg is a very low dose, wouldn’t expect for the side effects to my happen. But if you happen to see any- there are always anxiety medicines that wouldn’t have such a side effect. Keep in mind- anxiety itself can sometimes affect sexual performance so discuss with your psychiatrist and optimise the treatment.
