@jeny4fitness hi. Actually I gained weight after I started taking lexapro. I read online that most people lose weight once they discontinue. I’ll only know if I gain or lose after about a month or so I suppose. Since I’m doing a gradual taper I’m not sure if drastic weight loss or gain would happen. I can only wait and see. I’m hoping to lose weight after cutting lexapro for good. Im planning to take omega 3s fatty acids at least 800 mg (epa) and above. I read 1000 ish epa is really good to deal with withdrawal side effects...

@littlecroissant Yes... I didn't gain or lose wt when I started. I've been in contact with my dr and she brought up, not sure why I didn't realize it, that there is also a lot of serotonin in the GI tract and there could be changes there as well and fluid changes will occur when going/off meds. She said is should normalize, but unsure of timeline. As I suspected. I take omegas along with several other supps. Good luck to you!
