Trying different meds can be SO frustrating, but it pays off when you finally find the right one. I'm surprised to hear that you've gained weight on lexapro, it killed my appetite. But these things effect everyone so differently.
I'm not sure what you were diagnosed with, but if it's depression (sounds like it) I would recommend Prozac if you haven't already tried it. The drug did wonders for me a few years ago and I had no trouble with weight gain. If I remember right loss of appetite is one of the side effects. Prozac really helped to get my mood swings under control, I had more energy and I was way more interested in what was going on around me.
Best of luck! (Keep us updated on your progress.)
