I gained 25 pounds in the 6 mos. BEFORE going on Lexapro. Part of that time I was on other meds. I think I've lost a little in the 2 months I've been on Lex... and for sure I have less of an appetite and it seems like my metabolism has sped up too.

In fact, my appetite has decreased, and I will hopefully start dropping weight on the Lexapro. But everyone is different....
