I was on Paxil for 2 months and then Lexapro for 2 months...now I'm on Effexor and I've gained weight. I gained with Pax and Lex and that is why I'm on Effexor now but as I've read over and over time and again, many meds affect every BODY differently so you hang in there!! Just to let you know, I've gone from 165 to 181 in a matter of 5 months!!
> I have been taking Lexapro for 10 days now for depression related to a long term relationship break up. I felt shaky and had anxiety the first 4 days but have felt fine ever since and am sleeping all night...great in fact! I have read about serious weight gain on this and am so concerned about it that i might quit taking it. I just cant handle weight gain, especially after a break up! I feel better taking it so I am really confused. Can anyone tell me what they have experienced? Thank you so much!
