Well that's irritating! I've noticed the increased hunger already on Lexapro and it's only been 2 weeks. Although, now that I have increased my dose to 10mg it has reduced a little bit. Actually I even feel a bit like I'm on Ritalin, which I do not enjoy. I do not like to feel "high" but I kind of do so far.

I guess I'll just have to keep a very close eye on what I eat in the coming months.
