Hi Capri, Thanks again!
My appetite is zip since starting Lexapro. I start week 2 tomorrow. I had the same problem you had with Paxil-but with Prozac. I ate and ate on that med after it kicked in after about 2 months. Boy was I hungry!!! LOL Gained a lot of weight :-(

Thanks so much again for your help,
Gal
