UGH! I can now relate to the weight gain issue. I've been on Lexapro for 5 months and have put on about 10 pounds. I've never had to diet before and never have I been this hungry - is it just being happy finally or is it something with SSRIs?!?!
I just started with a treadmill, so we'll see. I asked my doctor about adding Wellbutrin and he won't do it if it's just to stabilize/speed up my formerly fast metabolism. Lex has worked to stabilize my anxiety and reduce my depression, but do I have to trade it for another (less debilitating, but still depressing) problem!
Good luck everyone!
