I take both Lexapro and Lamictal so I hope I can help. First of all, 10mg is a baby dose, but its a start. If you remember from the first time around it takes a while before you start noticing changes. As far as the cravings, I don't know. Do you think its possible that you experienced weight loss b/c of the depression you sunk back into? Its often a side effect of depression. Two years ago I decided to CUT DOWN on my Lexapro, not even discontinue it, and I ended up in the hospital. I sympathize with you at this time. I understand how difficult and, at times, unbearable the pain is. If you can just hang in there for a couple more weeks you'll start to feel better. Good luck and I'm here if you need anything.
