I went on Celexa almost a year and a half ago. I was in a tremendously bad state and it really helped me to overcome my depression. One problem, though: I put on weight. I am a relatively active person and eat healthy so it was clearly a result of the Celexa.
A friend of mine recently told me about Lexapro and explained that it was similar to Celexa only was known to have less side effects. I asked my Dr. about it and he explained that Lexapro was relatively new on the market but "yes, it was known to have less side effects".
I'm wondering how many people here have made the switch. I'm also wondering if anybody else experienced immediate weight gain upon going on Celexa and was able to notice a significant difference upon switching over.
Stories are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
