MedHelp Member's Question

Lexapro

by jenne73, Dec 11, 2007 01:42PM

HI;
I have been on Lexapro for over 2 years now, and have gained weight also. I have muscle aches also and am thinking about going off of it. I am tired and do not think it is helping my depression any.
I would appreciate any advice.
thanks;
jenne73

Hi;
I have had an underactive thyroid for years now and always have that checked. I am following up with my doctor but hope I might feel better being off this medication.
thanks

get your doc to put you on synthroid I bet you dont need anti deepressant anymore when you get your TSH leveled out.

I have been on synthroid for a number of years. So right now my tsh and other thyroid labs are good, (checked 3 months ago) . But I still hope I will feel better off the lexapro.
