In reply to Lexapro and weight, posted by newuser2 on March 19, 2003, at 9:51:21
I was on Pax originally for perimenopause but the weight gain was terrible. I informed my doc and she switched me over to Lex. I took the med for 1 week and decided against it because I was (again) fearful of the weight gain. I began treatment with herbs along with fish oil and flax seed oil. I had no side effects coming off of Pax (2months) and Lex (1week). However, now the horrible feelings of loneliness, sadness, and "barking" at my husband has come back. The reason I stopped taking Lex was because I felt like a zombie in the morning up until 11am. I'd like to know what time (a.m. or p.m.)every one here takes their med, what they take it for, how long they've been taking Lex and the milligrams. Has anyone experienced any weight gain? I'm trying to get a feel for this med and any information regarding me questions would be greatly appreciated...Thanks again!!
