In reply to Paxil, Lexapro and hitting rock bottom, posted by roxannamarie on July 22, 2003, at 18:40:42
Paxil often times causes weight gain. But Lexapro does not generally have that side effect.
The funny thing is- I spoke with a psychiatrist 3 years a go and he said that he never heard that Paxil causes weight gain. I guess some of these docs only have a few patients on any given drug and they really don't know that much. The drug companies certainly will not emphasize these types of side effects in their literature that doctors read.
