Lexapro consist of Escitalopram, a selective serotonine reuptake Inhibitor. Erectile dysfunction is one of the common side effect associated with lexapro, specially when given in higher dose. You should consult your treating physician for same and ask for alternative medication for OCD.
Viagra can be helpful. As in your case erectile dysfunction is secondary to adverse effect to medicine, changing the medicine will be better alternative.
