No I do not want to switch from it, Just I have seen others stating that you can take Wellbutrin also to curb the side effects. I am hoping this is true.
Yes I have gained weight, only because I am not so mobile, all I do is eat or sleep when I am not working. All I think about is eating or sleeping.
I forgot about the jaw clinching as well, but that is getting better.
Hope this helps. Nice to know others out here are going through what I am feeling.
Took me forever to find a forum that has Lexapro on it.

> May I please get in on this. I started Lexapro a week ago and I am doing quite well on it too, have you gained weight from it? I gained weight from all the other SSRI's except Celexa which I know Lex is an isomer of Celexa??? You are on Lexapro now??? Are you okay with it? I'm a little confused as to whether you are happy with Lexapro or want to change? I hope you feel better.

> > I started taking Lexapro 10mg about 5 weeks ago, and right away I noticed a big difference in myself. I was in closet depression as I like to call it. Nobody around me knew I was depressed. They had no clue I was so unhappy and could not get through a day without crying. When I thought of dying all the time I knew it was time to get help. My doctor put me on Lexapro because she said the side effects were suppose to be less than all the rest. At first I was nausea, but that subsided. Now the only side effects I have is extreme fatigue, I could sleep all day, and I never had that problem before. I just dont care about anything any more. I have to make myself do things. I have no sexual desire what so ever and cannot reach an orgasim. I have gained weight. I laugh that all I feel like doing is sleeping and eating. But I have tremendous amount of insomnia when I do go to bed. What are your thoughts on this? Was thinking of asking my Dr. to put me on Wellbutrin? Do you all think this would help with the side effects. I know that Lexapro has helped me tremendously. I have not cried once in 5weeks. I am starting to wonder if I could.
