I already have osteoporosis and cannot afford to risk getting back on Lexapro. Is there a way to find out whether I am one of the people who loses bone density from Lexapro?

You could ask your physician about drug gene testing known as pharmacogenomics.
I don’t know if it will specifically test for what you’re wanting but it’s worth asking your doctor or pharmacist about.
Take care,

@Liane1 Wow this scares me. I have been on Lexapro for some time and my bones are soft, since I found out after my 9 hour back surgery. Going to ask my Surgeon assistant and my psychiatrist. Thank you for the info and where did you find it?
