Answers:
I take Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) in the evening, for depression and anxiety!. I've been taking that for over a year and a half, and it's working very well for me!.

The Wellbutrin SR seems to help me to be more alert and active - and wanting to do things - while the Lexapro makes me more mellow, and it helps me sleep better, too!.

I've heard of people putting on weight while on Lexapro, which is easy to understand - it makes me feel very docile, and not motivated!.

The last time I was in the doctor office, I had lost 8 lbs - not a lot, but in the right direction!. I give the Wellbutrin SR the credit for the weight loss, since it does help me to be more active!.

Best of Luck to you :-)

I did gain weight while on lexapro!. A friend of mine went on it at the same time I did!. She was 5'8'' and 110 pounds!. I was 5'8'' and 275 pounds!. She and I both gained some weight!. She said that her weight came on because before the lexapro, she was stressed out, worried (her hair even started falling out)!. After she started taking it, she was calmer, happier and for once ate healthy meals!. She gained 25 pounds and looked great!.

I gained 20 pounds too!. My mental faculties were better, but I did gain!. I'm now on Effexor!. I have recently been diagnose with diabetes and have lost 20 pounds!. I don't know if I could have lost the weight on lexapro!.

Let me say this: every person is different!. Two other people I know have been on lexapro for YEARS and have NOT gained a pound!. I hope it helps!. Never disregard your mental health for the way you look!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take Lexapro and I gained weight!. However, I also take Seroquel and that can cause weight gain!.
