Esipram (Lexapro) is an SSRI, and there are other SSRI's that he can try!. I would raise this concern with your prescribing physician, and maybe they will try a different agent!. Also, if another SSRI doesn't work, maybe a different class of medication would be better, such as an SNRI (Effexor), or older generation anti-depressant (like a tricyclic)!.
Best of luck to you and the hubby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
