I GAINED OVER 15 POUNDS WHILE TAKING LEXAPRO. I HAVE BEEN OFF IT 3 WEEKS NOW. AND WEIGHT HAS FELL OFF FAST SINCE I STOP TAKING IT.

I also gained weight while on Lexapro. When I came off of it.. I didn't loose any. I wish it did!

I had been on Lexapro for 9 years and gained 50 pound over that time. I was unable to lose and no matter what I did. After stopping it I did some research and found that is is notorious for putting on weight and for hindering its loss.

I have only been off of it for nearly 3 weeks but I feel better and am confident that I'll be able to lose some of the weight I have hated for so long. I'll keep you posted if you keep me up to date on your side of the story.

I wish you the best of luck,
Laroux
