No, but many users of the "SSRI" type antidepressants and other psychiatric medicines do experience some weight gain, maybe 5-40 lbs. Not everybody will have side effects with ANY medicine. Sometimes switching from one med to another in the same group solves the problem, no particular one. It's one of benefit/impact ratios you'll have to weigh for yourself. Some people actually LOSE weight because when less depressed they are more active and have fewer junk food cravings. You'll know in a month or two. Lexapro is closely related to Celexa, and is supposed to be a formulation which has fewer side effects.

Weight gain is a potential side effect of both generic and brand name Lexapro (escitalopram), as they contain the same active ingredient. The differences in weight gain between the two are generally negligible, as they work the same way in the body. Individual responses to the medication can vary, so factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and dosage may influence weight changes more than the brand. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding medication effects.

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...
