I disagree. While there is no way to be completely certain, I have noticed that all of the SSRI's have a tendency to induce weight gain in people. The reports may be anecdotal, and the scientific journals may say otherwise, but many people on this board have complained of weight gain from every SSRI made, including Prozac. In addition, if no other factors have changed except medication, you are essentially telling the poster that they are erroneous in believing that lexapro caused weight gain. In reality, they know their situation far better than you do, and it is scientific deduction to believe that if one factors out the alternatives whatever is left, however improbale, is likely to be the answer. And another thing. Not only are the studies on these drugs biased, but no 6-8 week trial is going to tell you real results on the side-effect of weight gain, especially since it takes the brain approxamately that long just to begin responding significantly to the medication, as is the case with TCA, SSRI, and MAOI anti-depressants.
