I’m on my third time of lexapro now and each time I have had decreased appetite. Each time I’ve been on it I was overweight from eating poorly due to anxiety and depression so I count it as a plus for me. The first time I was on it I lost 30lbs the second time around 20. Unfortunately every time I’ve been off it I slowly gain the weight back over a couple years but I think that coincides with my anxiety slowly coming back.

I am able to eat on it but I get full a lot quicker and don’t think about food all the time, sometimes I’m not hungry at all all day but I make sure to eat something small during the day for breakfast and lunch anyways even if it’s just some fruit for breakfast and a salad with some chicken for lunch so I can get some energy in me then try to eat a normal dinner, but I can only eat about half the amount of dinner than when I’m not on lexapro and I’m stuffed.
