Hello
I understand how distressing it must be for you. Ecsitalopram does have sexual side effects while mirtazepine has less of it. Sexual dysfunction can also be because of anxiety or depression itself or can have other multiple causes ranging from simple thyroid problems. If it's because of these drugs only, medications may need to be changed. But to know the exact cause and decide treatment accordingly, consultation is a must, so please consult a psychiatrist.
