I have been on Lexapro for about 10 weeks now at 10mg. Previous to that I was on Zyprexa. In three weeks on Zyprexa I had gained exactly 10 pounds. Needless to say my Dr switched me to Lexapro. Since then I have lost the ten pounds I gained on Zyprexa and also lost about another 5-7 pounds. A lot of people report losing weight on Lexapro. I am also on 300mg of Wellbutrin.
Aside from the weight loss I have had a great turn around. My anxiety went down tremendously. I was able to be happy again. I wasn't hyper sensitive to everything my boyfriend said and I wasn't super self conscience all the time. I was just back to being me.
Give Lexapro a try it will take probably a good month to see how it will affect you. Plus this place is a GREAT place to come and ask questions. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Good luck.
