> I have been on lexapro for the last 18 months and strattera as well. I stopped strattera 3 months ago and have been stepping down lexapro. i am on 5mg and am stopping it completely today. i have been experiencing some of the side-effects over the last 3 months: weight gain and sexual side-effects. does this make sense? no side-effects and now i do?

I suppose the Strattera could have been countering some of the Lexapro side effects, as it is a norepinephine reuptake inhibitor. My experience is that those types of drugs do tend to reduce appetite, at least. It's possible it could have had some benefits sexually, as well.
