> Need advice-just stopped Celexa 20 mg. 6wks ago after being on for 15 months. Did great on it, felt great. Why did I stop? Went for annual dr. visit and had gained 20 lbs in one year! Dr. suggested Lexapro immediately implying it would be answer to low libido and weight gain. I have been VERY intolerant and edgy and unmotivated recently and believe depression is creeping in. Any ideas on the weight gain?
I have to confess, Cheri, if I'd have felt so good on Celexa, I wouldn't have given it up, because if you feel good, it's easier to follow a diet program. I'm going to Weight Watchers with some success, but I sure wouldn't manipulate SSRIs to control weight. Getting your head feeling good is step one, then go with the rest.
