Did it increase your appetite? Any weight gain?

Yup. When I was on it, about a year and a half ago, I definitely experienced that side effect, but didn't last long in any case as it caused me to become manic, so I had to stop using it in any case.

I'm interested in this thread as I'm starting Lexapro tonight. We'll see how it affects me.

I've been taking it for a few years and I don't think it has caused any weight gain. I think some other meds did, but not Lexapro

I definitely experienced weight gain with Lexapro. It crept up though so I didn't notice it until I had put on about 10 or so pounds (which is pretty significant when you start at ~120)

I was put on it prior to Dx of Bipolar.
I was manic for almost a year and lost weight. lol ! It's listed more as a weight neutral med. Of course that varies with anyone.

I started it at the end of October and have gained a few pounds. Just now finished withdrawing off it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
