In reply to Weight gain and Lexapro, posted by mystic on February 23, 2004, at 22:06:38
I've gained weight on Paxil and Lexapro. I was on Pax for 2 months and then I told pdoc that I gained 10lbs. So she switched me to Lex and then I gained more weight. I'm at a lost at this point. I going to ask pdoc for Topamax because I've gained a total of 25lbs withing a 4½ month time frame (ugh). Good Luck & God Bless...
> Have been taking Lexapro 10mgs for 2 weeks today...Had a weight loss from the depression/anxiety disorder and not wanting to gain the weight I gained on Paxil for 7 years...I gained 45lbs with the Paxil...Anyone experienced a significant weight gain on Lexapro..I realize that this is a fairly new medication and I was told on the Paxil that it didnt cause any weight gain until it had been out a couple years and then it was reported that this was not true...Any information would be appreciated..thank you in advance...mystic
