> I'm taking Celexa, not Lexapro, but they are similar meds. I couldn't tell you if I've lost weight (I don't have a scale in my bathroom), but I've certainly cut down on eating! I just don't have the desire to munch all the time. Some days I actually have to make myself eat something because I've forgotten to! Lol!
>I am taking Lexapro 10mg/day for over 2 months now. The first month I experienced a rather disturbing weight gain even though I wasn't eating any more. After bringing this up with my doctor, he put me also on Wellbutrin 150mg/day to help with this side effect. I've been on the Wellbutrin since 11/6/2003 and the weight is slowly, but surely coming off. My appetite has been curtailed. But then again, every person's experience might be different.
