Hi J.,
I don't really know the rationale as to why some folks have weight gain on SSRI's..... I think if it had been a problem for me, I would have researched that more, but, thankfully, that has not been a factor so I don't really know. I know some of the other drug class of AD's can have a fluid retention factor as cause of some weight gain but that's probably a small contribution overall when folks note gain on meds. Sorry about that, but I just don't know the physiological reasoning.
Lex has been a Godsend for me. Everyone is different and one person's "paradise" is another's "poison", but Lex has exceeded my expectations. My prayer is continued working of this med for me and so far, I'm really good. I think it's a med for you to consider but you do need to discuss it with your doc. You situation is different from mine - it may be a good choice for you and it may not be. I hope you have someone who can guide you well in your decision.
Best,
Glydin
