> > Ippopo..I have been on lexapro almost 3 weeks now..and the first few days i couldnt stand the thought of food. I have a good apetite now and i know i have gained a few pounds...Im hopin I dont gain too much too soon as i did with other antidepressants. Im thin so i enjoy having a nice appetite. I dont seem to feel the need to eat every minute like I did on other meds..Is still early tho so we will see.
> *** I am hearing both gaining appetite back, and loss of appetite. (mostly loss of appetite so far) Lexapro is supposed to be weight-neutral (same as Celexa). It should not be a weight factor inherently (like paxil can.) The change in appetite and eating habits might be why a persons weight changes...I know it's been a few weeks now, but can you evaluate your eating habits and attribute the weight change to that?

I think meds can cause the changes in a persons eating habits. I have been on lex 3 weeks...as i said the first several days i didnt have an appetite at all. I have a very good appetite now. Its too soon for me to tell if lex will have the same effect on me as some other antidepressants where i could not stop eating. I dont feel the need to eat constantly, I just eat better.
