Hi Colleen,
I'm sorry to hear of your struggles in getting to some prescribing help and that you were feeling not so well.
> Is Lex more associated with weight gain or loss?~~~ I think comparing loss versus gain, most folks notice weight gain. It's been weight neutral for me - thankfully.
> Is it known for prominent sexual side effects?~~~ Yes, SSRI's are not noted for being friendly to sexual functioning and a large precentage of folks do report some level of negative change to their sexual functioning. I also have not, REALLY THANKFULLY, noticed problems either.
I think most folks begin at 10 mgs for the highest start out and then move up. Some of it may be to secure the lowest potential effective dose and to ease side effects potential.
I hope you continue to feel better and better.
