>Strangely I did not notice any change in appetite with either paxil or lexapro. But with paxil, the weight just arrived one morning and kept going up from there. I told him about it and he said maybe I was eating more an not realizing. Since I have always kept an eye on my weight and exercise, I knew this wasn't true.
Now on lex for over 1 month, there has been no wieght gain and my appetite actually seems less. I am satisfied with less food.
I gained a ton of weight on Paxil, then my Psych. told me to try Lexapro, which I do think is a great anti-depressant. However, I was insanely hungry all the time. My appetite was ridiculous. I was constantly stuffing myself with carbs..Although, I truly was "happy", so go figure. I did get off of it though after seeing a disturbing photo of myself.
