In reply to Lexapro and Weight, posted by Chasemom on December 29, 2003, at 14:18:12
I have gained over 100 pounds in the last eight years on antidepressants. I wouldn't say that the weight gain was completely due to the medicine, but it no doubt played a major role. About a month ago my doctor switched me to Lexapro. I have more energy now than I have had in the past eight years, and I also have considerably less of an appetitite now. I haven't weighed myself to confirm a weight loss, but my clothes are fitting a little looser. Even if I didn't lose weight because of Lexapro, I am glad I made the switch just because of how good I feel right now. Everyone's experiences are different, of course, and I wish you well.
