Hi there,
This is a great resource for evaluating meds:
http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=21440&name=LEXAPRO
There are over 1000 comments regarding Lexapro there.
Note, I've also read that SSRIs increase cortisol; don't know if this is true, but if it is, it explains weight gain. Cortisol in excess is also said to cause neuro and brain damage that leads to memory loss and other symptoms.
Good luck.
