Weight Loss and Antidepressants.
I have been on the lowest dose of Lexapro for about 6 months to a year due to anxiety issues. I did not seem to have any issues with weight gain until a few months ago when I started taking the generic brand.
Has anyone had this issue? Or any tips on how I can lose the extra 10 lbs I have gained.
It is rather disheartening.
TIA
Re: Weight Loss and Antidepressants.
This has happened to my sister as well, except she's put on about 50 pounds since she's been on it (about 2 1/2 years now). I'm not sure though how much of that is from taking the meds or just getting more inactive, eating more, etc. All she knows is it started coming on a couple months after starting it. She realizes now though that she has to step up her work out game, like big time, and reduce her calorie intake. It's a process, but it'll work.
You can do this too, remember 3500 cal = 1 pound. Do the math, set a program for yourself and stay consistent with it. Running is a great weight loss exercise, and eating lean meats and upping your veggie intake will give you results.
