Lexapro Weight Gain Side Effect? (Top voted first)

Has anyone experienced weight gain and are any of you just feeling stuck or unmotivated? I take 20 mg a day and feel bored. When I take Wellbutrin, Prozac and Topomax it made me mean.

I take Lexapro 10 mg a day and I have gained excessive weight. I have tried Celexa, which I loved. I felt so good the first nine months I was on it, but guess what, it causes excessive weight gain with prolonged use. I have also been on Zoloft, which helped the depression, but I did not feel anything. Everything in my life was whatever. Kind of like the stuck feeling you are describing. I wish there was something that does not cause you to gain weight, lets you feel motivated, and has low sexual side effects. Any clues anyone

I have taken Paxil and Lexapro. Now I am on Wellbutrin XL and feel great. My appetite has decreased also.

Hate to say it, but I'm glad to know I'm not alone on this. Have taken Zoloft before and had the weight gain, too. Am on Wellbutrin XL now, and not having that problem. Also on Lexapro, and am gaining weight from that change alone. Don't the doctor's read the side effects-I've specifically mentioned a problem with this in the past, and yet I'm having to argue with them again that it is happening. Anyone else fighting that battle. Would like to quit them completely, but am horribly mean and off the wall then.
