Hi there,
I have been taking 10 mg Lexapro for about 3 1/2
months and gained a whopping 12 pounds! Yikes!!! I was really scared to take anti-depressants, becuz I have heard so many horror stories about huge weight gains from them. Doctor told me that most people DON'T gain weight from Lexapro, but I guess I'm one of the 1% or soemthing. I have felt great on Lexapro, but am very upset about packing on the extra pounds!!! Yesterday the doctor switched me to 75 mg. Effexor. Have you ever tried that one?Well, good luck with the Lexapro....everyone is different, so it may not make you gain any weight! It did make me feel great though. I was a little tired at first, but then I started taking it at bedtime, and that worked great for me. No problems sleeping or anything.
GOOD LUCK
What was the appetite suppressant you take? Di doctor prescribe it???
