How long does Lexapro stay in your system after you stop taking it?
I took Lexapro for quite sometime. I'm off of it now and I'm losing lots of weight, but I'm sure it due to stress. Not a good method. Anti-Depressants should reduce snacking. Alot of snacking is from stress, nervousness, and a HUGE comfort zone...

Did you gain weight on Lexapro?
In studies, people treated with Lexapro experienced no clinically important weight change as a result of therapy. If you have concerns about any side effects, you should talk with your healthcare professional or doctor. The side effects listed for Lexapro are nausea, dry mouth, somnolence, insomnia, diaphoresis tremor, diarrhea, abnormal ejaculation, dyspepsia, fatigue, anxiety, vomiting, anorexia, sinusitus, sexual dysfunction, menstrual disorder, abdominal pain, agitation, decreased libido. But out of these side effects, only 4 to 8 % of all people who take this drug experience any weight change and that weight change has been reported as anorexia not weight gain.Personal ExperiencesYes, I did gain weight. After 18 months of 10mg daily, I gained 20+ lbs. I am sure it's a chemical reaction to the Rx, as my diet did not change. In fact, the way the drug works changes your hormones and metabolism. Both medical professionals and patients who have taken the Rx confirm the weight gain side effect. I hope after the 4-6 week withdrawal period, my body will readjust to my optimal weight. Keep in mind it still takes time to lose the weight, but it shouldn't be impossible (FYI: I could not lose more than 1-2 lbs while on the Lexapro, no matter how healthy I ate or active I was)!
How to switch Lexapro to Prozac?
I just saw my Dr. Today because I am switching from Lexapro to Prozac because of weight gain on Lexapro. This is coming from my Dr. You MUST NOT MIX LEXAPRO and PROZAC. They are not compatible chemically. You must allow at least 3 or more days for the one drug to "wash out" of your system before you start the new one. You may need more time than that. Confirm this with your Dr.
