Will i necessarily gain weight on Lexapro and Ocella (generic Yasmin)?!
Question: Will i necessarily gain weight on Lexapro and Ocella (generic Yasmin)!?
Hey everyone!. I just started taking generic Yasmin called Ocella a week ago, and today I started on Lexapro!. Supposedly, both of these medications are supposed to have a low chance of weight gain as compared to the others in it's class, but I am worried!. Has anyone ever taken these!? Did you gain weight!? Is there a way to stop the weight gain while still eating healthy balanced meals!? Why do they make you gain weight, what is the reason!?
Thanks everybody!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lexapro doesnt realy cause weight gain!. i was on 20 mg daily and didnt gain a pound!. yasmin im not so sure, but what causes weight gain is really unknown!. for you it coud cause weight loss it depends on your body chemistry!. sometimes, when your depressed u eat alot, so maybe with lexapro helping u not be depressed, you'll eat less thus losing weight!. other times, it could make you hungry, and you start over eating, which cuases the weight gain!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm on Lexapro for five months and Yaz (Yasmin's little sister) for a year and haven't gained any weight!. I assume a good diet/exercise combination will prevent you from gaining any if you're worried about it!. I have no idea why they might cause weight gain though!. Sorry!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Wieght gain is a possible side effect of Lexapro!. I gained nearly 20 lbs!. in six months and I go to the gym 4 times a week!. My doctor switched me to Wellbutrin, I am slowly taking off the 20 lbs!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
