Anyone out there who got off Lexapro and saw weight loss?
I've been taking 20mg for years and want to get off of it. I know it is holding back my weight loss.

    I was taking it for a few months but didn't see any weight gain from it. But I do know that once I started eating healthy and exercising, I realized I really didn't need it at all. I'm off all anti depressants and loving life. You can do it. Just do it slowly.

    I gained weight from a different medication. You should really ask your doctor to put you on a medication that will do the same thing without the weight gain.
