Re: Lexapro Script. Question

My daughter took Lexapro last summer for depression and anxiety. She has a binge eating disorder as well...You probably know the story because I have posted quite a few times. Anyway, she started on 10mg, and went up to 40mg. The pdoc told us that for OCD and binge eating type disorders, a higher dosage works best, and so up she went. I must say, she felt great! No depression, but she was bipolar and we didn't know it at the time, so she needed other medications and to make a long story short was taken off because of weight gain etc. It does cause weight gain in SOME (not all) people at higher doses. For her, the higher dose did make a difference. A noticable one. Good luck. -L
