Thank you guys for your inputs,however, as a married man I cannot compromise my marriage due to low libido because it was ve serious with me.I dicided to discontinue it.
Another problem was bad toothache for which lexamil was a culprit.I discovered that from the internet. Surely, after its dicontinuation the toothache stopped. I am fine without lexamil.Before, I was helpless and hopeless and scared of life.But now all that ceased after two weeks taking this notorious lexamil.

Weight gain is an unfortunate, but normal side effect of almost all antidepressant medications.
Anyone else have experience using this medication?

Ive been on lexamil for 5 months now..is working great, no change in sex drive, allthough I seem to be gaining weight quite fast. Was very nauseas the first few days, couldnt sleep, couldnt eat, and almost died from anxiety...but after the first week I could really feel it working. Works great if combined with a diet with alot of chillies in it (releases serotonin) and obviously exercise.

It is a normal side effect for antidepressants to affect your sex-drive, if it is becoming a real problem for you, then please speak to your doctor.

Yes, I am on lexamil for 2 days but I amazed of its effectiveness as I feel a difference. Before i was slipping downhill to a depressive episode of depression. I was hopeless, helpless and oversensory. However, I am scared if it makes one gain weight. What can I do to limit this weight gain?

Yes, those are normal side effects of these types of drugs. Natural remedies, however, can have just as many side effects, if not more, so please consult your doctor or pharmacist.

I have been on a daily 5mg dosage of lexamil for two weeks for pms related anxiety and depression. I am 23 years old and found a severe drop in my sex drive and i have put on at least 2 kg. Not worth it if you ask me - will look for natural pms relivers!!!!
