> thanks - dont know if you remem. but you were very helpful to me way back when when i started lex - i think in like nov.
~~~ Ah, thank you for that comment. I really needed to hear that. Thank you soo...... I do remember you and it's good to hear from you.
> im weight obsessed - so i cannot handle gaining one lb. ive been googling lexapro and weight gain nearly all day. ive gained 5 lbs in the past month for no reason and im miserable abt it. clothes dont fit right , etc. so i am truly terrified.
~~~ I'm sorry that's happening. I didn't notice any gain on 10 mgs., it was only after I went up to 20 mgs. Again, there are alot of factors. I wished SSRI's did not have the reputation of causing weight gain in some folks, but a number of folks do report that.
I hope you can work it out (bad pun - sorry - smile) and still be able to continue a workable emotional treatment.
