Worried about Lexapro and weight gain?!


Question: Worried about Lexapro and weight gain!?
I just started Lexapro 10mg once a day yesterday and I've heard horrible stories about people gaining weight from this medicine!. Has anyone experienced weight gain while taking this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hey,

I've been on 10 mg too since July!. I haven't had any weight gain!. I've also been eating healthy and exercising, so I've actually lost 5 pounds so far!. I think it's partly because the Lexapro has helped reduce my anxiety, so I'm not eating as much!.

As long as you are health conscious, you shouldn't gain weight!. Check the scale once in a while to track any fluctuation!.

I heard horror stories too, but this has really been a miracle drug for me and I've had some pretty bad weight gain with other drugs like seroquel!

Hope that helps, feel better, good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
