I have been on lexapro for about 10 months. I started taking it for anxiety induced IBS. I have been able to find relief from my IBS, but I think the lexapro has caused some weight gain --about 10lbs by the third to fourth week of taking it. I know this probably doesn't sound like that much for most people, but I'm only 5'1", so it's significant for me. I can't seem to be able to drop the weight & my therapist suggested it might be the lexapro. The additional weight is causing a whole new set of anxiety and stress. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem?
