Lexapro weight gain?

I took Lexapro for a while for anxiety, was doing really well, and gradually went off of it. Part of the reason I chose to do so is that I thought it might have been causing weight gain. I was on it for about 9 months and feel that I gained maybe 5 pounds from it. I was scared of it skyrocketing from there, as when I was on Paxil I gained a lot.
Now my anxiety is back big time, so I'm taking Lexapro again. Have others experienced weight gain from Lexapro. Has anyone been on it and NOT experienced weight gain? The doc/ pharmacy says it doesn't cause weight gain, but I don't really believe that... Posted on 11/06/09, 11:11 am |
