Lexapro - Gaining Weight Like Crazy!
Posted: 07-26-06 15:08pm

Since starting lexapro about a month ago i've gained a ton of weight (up 4 pants sizes!!). Any suggestions on keeping the weight off? :( other than the weight gain I am tolerating the medicine well.

Side Effects?

Perhaps the weight gain is a side effect? Look up lexapro online to view the side effects. Drink lots of water and make sure you eat low sugar foods (if your a diabetic then thats not a good idea) seriously.. If you cut down on the sugar, the cokes, and fries and stuff, you will notice a diff. In your life! I hope it works!! Good luck!
