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~

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.

My boyfriend is on 10 mg of lexapro and he
has been for a few months. Now I notcie a
change. A positive change that is. He
has not gained weight and has had no side
effects. It has really helped him alot.
