I think if it had been a problem for me, I would have researched that more, but, thankfully, that has not been a factor so I don't really know. I know some of the other drug class of AD's can have a fluid retention factor as cause of some weight gain but that's probably a small contribution overall when folks note gain on meds. Sorry about that, but I just don't know the physiological reasoning.

My prayer is continued working of this med for me and so far, I'm really good. I think it's a med for you to consider but you do need to discuss it with your doc. You situation is different from mine - it may be a good choice for you and it may not be. I hope you have someone who can guide you well in your decision.

Don't worry, your answer was useful to me, It
was another push towards me trying Lexapro. As
you said, it may help, so why not (the only
SSRI I've tried was prozac, but I remember it
as taking water. It did nothing, it did't help
nor did damage).

The only guidance I'm receiving right now is
from my psychiatrist, but he chooses what to
talk about, so communication between us isn't
very fluent (this may have to do that I have
seen him only three times)

I increased in 75 mg the Lyrica dose I was
taking (150 mg) two nights ago because I
needed something to help with my sleeping
and anxiety problem, but the anxiety seems to
have increased as well, I'm not sleeping any
better either and my hunger got bigger too,
though it may be more due the expectations
or frustration that because of the
medication.

Have a good day,

Bye.

J.
