> Hey I need help I am gaining so much weight from the Lexapro and I don't know what to do. I have gained 15 pounds since I have started taking it and although it makes me feel pretty good anxiety wise I am getting so depressed because of the weight gain. The first 5 or 7 pounds I can deal with, but now it's really getting noticable and I don't fit that well in my pants.

> I just joined the gym and weight watchers, but I don't know if that will help. I hear so many people say that they diet and excercise and still can't lose the weight from the Lex. Please help!!! all advice welcome.

> Anxious babeI just wanted to let you know I'm not ignoring you, I just really have no answers for this, not even for myself. I wish you the best.

Lexy, My hubby makes me sick around my time of the month. Not only am I not attracted to him, but I can't stand him. It goes away after I get my period and doesn't happen every month. But most months it does. I love him dearly and we still have a great romantic relationship after 15 years of marriage!! If this feeling lasts all month, then I would start to wonder. For now, blame it on the hormones. Thinking of ya and love ya, Mrs. C

Hey Anakin, so sorry about your aunt. Losing someone is so difficult. My prayers are with you and your family. Really weird about the dog but they say that animals can sense things. Something to think about isn't it. Mrs. C

Anxious, as you know I have lost weight while taking Lexapro. It is not impossible to do. I am very resistant to weight loss but Atkins is working for me. I personally feel that feeling good on the inside is much more important than your weight. Weight can be taken off with hard work but finding the right med can be much harder. Hang in there girlfriend, I know how depressing gaining weight can be. I have battled with it all my life. Ten more pounds to go and I will be at 140. Which is slim for me and a place where I will feel comfortable. I have finally come to accept that I will never be 125 pounds ever again without completely starving myself. Not willing to do that, I love food!! You can do this, I know you can!! Mrs. C

Thank you Mrs. C you are right about finding the right meds and I am going to try and work really hard at eating right and excercising.
The really strange thing is as much as the weight has been bothering me lately, when it comes to not eating something that I am not suppose to or going to the gym I get the I don't care attitude. It's really crazy - it's almost like the med gives me the I don't care attitude for taking the right steps to lose the weight and then the other side of me makes me crazy over gaining the weight. So hard for me to explain!! does anyone understand what I am trying to say?
Anyways thanks for all your advice...how are you doing?

Hey Mrs C.
THanks so much for that. I am already starting to feel better. I saw him this morning and felt like "oh yea, I love this guy"... I think if I did not have so much anxiety that along with the PMS stuff which makes me hate men anyway...I worried about it and that made it even worse. We are going to Las Vegas tomorrow and I think that it will be nice to get away from work and law school for us.
We have had a lot of fun together so far but I freak out and of course it makes it seem like everything is bad...I HATE HORMONES>>>>
Thanks for the support!!!
Lexy

Hello my yo-yo friends,
I am just checking in to see if anyone posted. I use to get notified on my email, but I don't get notified anymore and I can't understand why - has anyone else had that problem?
The boards are getting quiet now even during the week so I am trying to do my best to post everyday and keep up with everyone and to see how you are all feeling.
We need to stick together!!!! So keep posting yo-yo's.
Love to all,
anxious babe

Hello,
I'm new here. I'm getting off of Effexor (nightmare) 40 lb weight gain and I didn't even feel good. I was going to try Lexapro but now I'm reading that it causes weight gain too. ARGHHHH!!! Is there nothing out there that doesn't cause this?? I guess if I'm happy it doesn't matter, but I can't stand myself right now. I have Hep C as well so energy level isn't great on top of depression. I've been on antidepressants for 20 years and never had such a weight gain. Being fat hasn't helped the intimacy part of a marriage either.
thanks for listening.
louise

Ababe,
I do understand, completely. It is so difficult to do the right thing especially when it comes to food. I just got back from lunch out with the kids. Of course they wanted KFC, which I love. But I ordered the baked chicken and green beans and watched them eat the good stuff. It really sucks!!! I hate skinny people!! Ha Ha just kidding all you skinny girls out there, I just envy you.

Louise,
If you are looking for support and friendship you have come to the right place. These girls, the yo-yo's have been together though thick and thin...we have even been known to throw a fabulous party or two...
40lbs, I am sure that has made you really feel worse. Usually on lexapro I have heard 1/3 gain, 1/3rd lose and 1/3rd stay. I have gained about 7lbs but do feel a lot better. I had depression and anxiety... I am usually feeling better but this week has me with the PMS so I am feeling a little crazy.
I think lexapro is worth a shot, you may want to try it and you will find good friends and support here!!
