Hi,
I was just curious as to why you switched from Effexor to Lexapro in the first place? You said that the Effexor was keeping your weight down, was it not helping your mood? I was on Lexapro for about 4 months and gained a whopping 15 LBS!!! About a month ago my doctor switched me to the Effexor and I have already lost 3 LBS!!! I just dont feel as hungry or something. I liked the way the Lexapro made me feel....but the weight gain was the pits! Everyone is different, but if the Effexor was working, maybe ask your doc. to go back on it????
Good Luck!!!
