MJo I am so glad you brought this up. I have been
on 10 mg. of lexapro for three years. starting with
the diagnoses of my bc. It has been a life saver and
I have stayed even through everything. No buzz or
high just even, but I have gained weight. This
winter I joined a gym with a trainer, nuitritionist and
did this for five months and lost no weight or inches
and the trainer could not believe it. Now the only
different thing I do is eat bread, I did not used too.
Sometime at night I want a piece of toast??? What
is this and why. I will address this at my next Dr.
appt. because I have for the first time changed sizes
after 30 years one size. I wish there was a drug
like lexapro but better with no weight gain. I just
add that to my list of side effects from having cancer.
