Weight Loss Lexapro
Anyone not overweight (infact slim) before starting ssri’s and lost weight after taking Lexapro (Escitalopram)?
All I read is people normally gain weight after a while taking SSRI’s. I am wondering anyone lost weight even clinically didn’t need to after taking them.
If so what was your weight (BMI) before and what is after taking the medication?
I know depression sometime cause lost of appetite and weight loss for some people, but its not the case or me, I am not fat (5’3 (159cm) and about 100 lbs (50Kg). depression made me eat and I do my best to control the eating though,
I am wondering anyone out there have experience of weight loss, if so how long after start taking them?
Many thanks
PS: My doctor gave me the choice when I want I can try SSRI Lexapro (Escitalopram) as he can’t force me for mild chronic depression.
Celexa and Lexapro both have weight loss as a side effect, and being on an SSRI is not a guarantee that you will gain. Most often what I have found is that it isn’t the medication that causes the weight gain, it is the person’s change in mood that causes them to be less careful in what they eat.
I don’t keep track of my BMI, but when I initially went on Celexa, I weighed about 220, and now I am around 190, around a year later, so I’ve lost around 30 lbs while taking the medication, primarily because I feel better about myself and don’t sit at home and mope all the time.
