In reply to Lexapro and weight, posted by newuser2 on March 19, 2003, at 9:51:21
I believe I have also gained weight on Lexapro. I work out regularly and have maintained my weight for at least 6 years- until lately. The only difference: the medication! I have put on about 7 pounds in 2 months. I do crave carbs and chocolate more. It takes a lot of self control to not want to eat. AND, I am more hungry than usual. I asked a doctor how a medicine can make you can weight, and she said that it can effect the metabolism. I had read on this board that some Lexapro symptoms ease in time. I can only hope this weight thing doesn't get any worse, and will reverse itself.
