[quote=Anonymous]I just wanted to post and say that in a way, I am glad I am not the only one. I was on Lexapro (20 mg) and have gained at least 25 pounds since starting it. I think it is a combination of things - hungrier, less sedentary, etc. But it is so upsetting because Lexapro has really helped me. I have weaned down to 10 mg and gained weight since weaning. I am so disappointed. And like 9:43 said, I had MAJOR mood swings and was so angry/annoyed at people just from lowering my dose from 20 to 10 and am just now feeling better of at least 6 weeks just at 10 mg. I don't know if I can handle not being on anything (depressed, anxious, etc) or if I actually wean myself off completely and adjust, if I would feel better. I am jealous of folks that have no mental health issues and have never had to take anything. It really makes you feel between a rock and a hard place... [/quote]
