Dawne,
I am new to Lexapro (first week) - switched from Wellbutrin for the serotonin coverage (I'm also on Adderall).
I have been on Paxil (several years ago) and I did gain weight throughout the time I took Paxil and then later with Prozac. I was also in perimenopause so I've never been sure how much was attributable to the ADs or the hormonal situation.
I just wanted to tell you that I don't find it vain in the LEAST to worry about weight gain! I have already told myself that if Lexapro causes any unusual weight gain I will take myself off it (with my "pdoc's" instructions) immediately.
For me, depression/self-esteem, etc. can be all tied in together. Gaining unwanted weight is not something that makes any of us feel any better about ourselves!
Please don't be hard on yourself. I find it admirable that you're taking control of your destiny and doing what you feel is best for your "overall" self.
Take care!
Lee
> HELLO AGAIN EVEREYONE. IM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE WENT FROM PAXIL TO LEXAPRO? AND IF POSSIBLE IF ANYONE IS TAKING THESE MEDS FOR BOTH DEPRESSION AND MIGRAINES? I KNOW THAT DOCTORS LIKE TO TREAT MIGRAINES WITH DRUGS LIKE TOPAMAX, DEPAKOTE ect... BUT ANY TIME I HAVE TRIED THESE MEDS I FELT MORE DEPRESSED AND AGGITATED, I FELT HORRIBLEL, AND THEY NEVER EVER HELPED! I DECIDED THAT THE ONLY MEDS. I WAS GOING TO TRY WAS ANTIDEPRESSANTS FOR MY MIGRAINES AND DEPRESSION. I HAVE TO SAY ONCE AGAIN THAT PAXIL WAS A LIFE SAVER FOR ME WITH BOTH PROBLEMS. THE 30 LB WT. GAIN ON MY 4' 11'' BODY FRAME WAS NOT!!! I KNOW THAT ALOT OF YOU OUT THERE THINK IM CRAZY FOR QUITING A DRUG THAT WORKED FOR ME AND STARTING UP SOMETHING NEW ALL FOR VANITY. TRUST ME, IM NOT TOO PROUD OF IT EITHER. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INPUT ON THIS I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I TRULY DO FEEL VERY GRATEFUL FOR FINDING THIS SITE. I HOPE I TOO CAN HELP ANYONE I CAN.
