It didn’t cause me to. I was actually under weight. Wasn’t until I stopped that I started to gain

No. I’ve been on it for a few years on the highest dose.

I’ve been on the highest dose of lexapro, for close to a year, it didn’t make me gain weight.

All depression medication causes weight gain

I was on and off it for years. It never caused me any weight gain.

I’m on lexapro and it hasn’t caused me to gain weight

Omg. I was recently prescribed Lexapro & been gaining weight, but it never crossed my mind that it could be the reason. Thanks for posting this.

I love Lexapro I’ve been in it for 2 years no complaints. I’ve had to stop taking it bc I was placed linezolid for 2 weeks and can cause seration syndrome and I can tell a difference. Definitely ready to be back on it!

It can also cause inability to climax in men

Nope I know at least 10 ppl on it no weight issues
