Yes, there are several alternative medications for anxiety that may have a lower risk of weight gain. Options include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like sertraline or escitalopram, as well as other classes such as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) like venlafaxine. Additionally, medications like buspirone or certain atypical antipsychotics may help with anxiety without significant weight gain. It's important to consult your healthcare provider to find the best option for you based on your individual needs and medical history.

Can you donate plasma while on Lexapro?

Yes you can, but remember to always ask a doctor if your on any medication your doctor can then give you a letter of approval to be on the safer side. On the other side I knew a handful of doners that actually smoked pot on a regular basis and they do just fine. But always ask a doctor if you take any medication.

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...

What are some ways to stop having a panic attack?

I, myself, have a history of anxiety attacks and I found that the best help, for me, was to take a 1mg alprazolam (Xanax). It makes my panic/anxiety disappear within 10 minutes. However, alprazolam is a prescribed medication, so you would have to go see a doctor in order to get a prescription.

Can you take Lexapro and coumadin?

My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lexapro to me while I was taking 4mg of Coumadin daily. Not sure if it makes a difference but I am only on Coumadin for another 3 months and have been taking Lexapro for about a month. So I would imagine it is safe as long as you continue to have your INR levels monitored. But you may want to check with your dr especially if you need to be on Coumadin long-term or even forever in addition to the Lexapro.
