Lexamil And Weight Gain

Updated

Good day, I have been drinking Lexamil 10mg for 2 years now I have gained 10kg since I have been taking it. I am struggling to lose the weight that I have gained within the 2 years. I am in the process of getting off of it now. Can my weight gain be caused by Lexamil as I have bee eating better and exercising more since I was diagnosed with depression and drinking the Lexamil but still gained weight. Thank you in advance.

Hello, Mina! How are you?

Yes, that can be a side effect of this medication, as reported by the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and dry mouth.

Are you on any other medications? Are you tapering off of this one?
