Lexapro

Tell me how u went on it ??

[Mahjong]

Ive been on it (6 yrs ago) helped me out with the PND, downside was I gained 25kgs Dr's say you dont gain it on Lexapro, but trust me, I ate the same GOOD foods when on the medication and it didnt help one bit.

Got given a script today was worried about the weight but im at the gym twice a day so i hope i can control it were the any other side effects

I ended up in hospital with an irregular heartbeat, twice.

I was quickly taken off of it (similar things have happened with other SSRI antidepressants) and can't take any SSRI as it's too dangerous - only take tricyclic antidepressents now. A good friend of mine says Lexapro changed her life for the better though

Good luck.

I was on it for a few years, I didn't experience any side effects and it really helped my depression

I have been on 20mg Lexapro daily for the last 2.5 years, I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and don't think I could've got this far without it, really has helped me with my previously crippling depression and anxiety
GOODLUCK!

Oh and I haven't had any weight gain/side effects it just depends on the individual

[missmoody]

I wasn't on it for long (I got pg)..but I felt quite a bit better in a shorter amount of time than say Zoloft or Prozac.
Had no weight gain, but increased appetite. I think that worked out because I was more motivated and able to workout and stick with it.

Good luck!!

35 kg weight gain here . It has helped with depression, but is a ******* to try to get off and if I miss even one dose I get brain fizzes whiCh are debilitating. Sorry to be negative but I wish I and never gone onto it.
