Hi Gal,
I took Lexapro for 5 weeks. I'll tell you towards the end I started eating alot. I was craving so much food. I had that same problem when I took Paxil a few years ago. I gained 10 pounds in a year on Paxil..which wasn't all that bad. I've always been thin most of my life.
I work out 3 nights a week and I hadn't noticed any weight gain just the appetite increase. I think you know that most SSRI's slow your metabolism and give you an appetite too. Hopefully Lexapro will not have that affect on you. Everyone is so different on these meds.
Keep us posted on your progress.
Capri
