I have been on 20 mg, lexapro/citalapram for 15 years for depression, it works. Weight gain is possible, but feeling like you can cope is worth it. Now with a grip on my depression causes, I’m going off, warning, it is not easy. I’m tapering 50% increments over 6 weeks, even with that process the withdrawal symptoms are difficult.

My feeling after experiencing horrible withdrawal from antidepressants is if something really keeps you happy and grounded why change it.

Does this med cause weight gain by some chemical process or does the med make you feel better, so your appetite increases? Just wondering if I can continue with my tight diet and exercise, I can nit gain weight. I’m actually losing weight and have some more to go.
