I am glad to hear that Lexapro is working for you. It sounds like you are going through a really rough time, what with your cat, ankle and all, and I wish you the very best. Don't worry too much about the weight gain...just focus on trying to find something about each day to enjoy :)
> For anyone that has followed my crisis with Effexor withdrawals and my gradual "healing" with Lexapro, I have to say Lexapro is now working for me or I would have already fallen apart.
>
> The cat I adopted in September is dying of cancer and lying around lethargically. I have to watch him and decide when to put him to sleep. It is heartbreaking.
>
> I also am a very active person, using working out to help combat my depression. I now have a broken ankle. Don't know if I will need surgery on the tendon. I can't work out.
>
> Lexapro is making me gain weight, which challenges my self image which is shakey to begin with. I detinitely will gain weight in the next couple months. Something that is difficult for me to accept.
>
> Surprisingly enough I am not totally falling apart. Am I too utterly exhausted from pain and sadness? Who knows? Either way, as long as I don't dip down into a deep depression, I would say the Lexapro is finally doing its job! PHEW.
