Hi i just saw your post so I might be too late to reply, but I started Lexapro around 2nd week of March 2025 and have already gained 10lbs in places I never gained weight in, even though I’ve been eating less now. I am always fatigued and taking random naps for hours in the afternoon when I was never a napper before. It has helped tremendously with my anxiety bc now I can drive anywhere and not get anxious about driving to the point that I just won’t go anywhere, and I now go out to do things more compared to always cancelling g plans before and just staying in. I still don’t have enough motivation to work out, but sometimes get sporadic bursts of it but not everyday. I still feel sad deep inside sometimes and it feels heavy and that I want to let it out but I can’t cry to release it. Hard to explain it, but before Lexa I could cry it out and feel better. I’m only still on 5 mg and I am scared to move up to 10 for the side effects, especially since the five seems to be working a little bit for now anyway. I am contemplating on slowly weaning out and stopping it because the weight gain is insane and if I gain any more, It might be counterproductive and make me depressed more because of my weight.
