So I started lexapro yesterday. Today will be day 2 of me taking it. Now im not sure if it’s just a placebo effect but I feel very mellowed out and like happy? Haha. I’ve dealt with debilitating anxiety my entire life and I was actually able to breathe for once. Now one thing that is terrifying me and making me not want to continue taking it, is the potential weight gain. I’ve worked my body so hard, in a caloric deficit to lose over 30 pounds after having my baby. I cannot afford to gain any of it back. I’m just wondering if it’s the lexapro itself to cause weight gain, or that it just gives people cravings which causes them to eat more? If anyone has any knowledge on it or better yet takes it themselves I’m appreciative of any advice!!
