Lexapro - Pro's And Cons Posted: 01-28-04 14:22pm


I've just been started on lexapro. Luvox and zoloft did nothing for me. I'm very concerned about weight-gain side effects (since part of my problem manifests itself in anorexia), but generally concerned about all side effects. Also, could anyone recommend a particular anti-depressant that seems to prevent weight gain? Thanks~ storm

Im not sure, the doctor put me on celexa. I had a way bad upset with that, then she put me on prozac, I just took the first one this morning.. Seems to be ok so far. Not sure about the weight gain thing, they didn't mention that in any of the side effects.

In Regards to Weight Gain Posted: 01-30-04 12:56pm


I've been on celexa and effexsor, both made me lose weight as a side effect from the stomache upsets, and the added energy. Then again everyone reacts to meds differently, if your conserned with that just don't take one that makes you tired.
