Mystic--Sorry to hear you feel so badly, but if it's any help I've taken three antidepressants and have never had flat feelings OR put on weight. In fact I've taken it off. Eat sensibly and exercise and that shouldn't be a problem. As for flat feelings, I've felt peaceful, even a little careless, but after all the turmoil in my life peaceful is nice. However, I am given to understand that some folks miss their raging emotions--my father did when he took Celexa, he complained it gave him "Fits of euphoria!" which gave my sister and I fits of giggles. The point is that he was iuncomfortable with feeling anything other than the angst he lived with his whole life and it scared him. I am all for raising a dosage where needed, and I truly don't believe that 10 is the magical mgs for Lexapro. I take 15mgs, but am not adverse to upping it when necessary. Good luck and God Bless.
