What are your experiences with weight gain and lexapro at 10 mg. per day?
Is the rate of "anorgasmia" about 10% overall?
thanks

I haven't noticed much of a weight change due to Lexapro. I've been having carb cravings but not too much else.
As for your other question, I can have them - it just takes a bit longer than it used to.

I've been on 10mg of Lex for 2 weeks & I'm 40 (I think age makes a bit of a difference with weight & other issues) - lost about 5 or 6 pounds so far. Partially because of being too sleepy to be hungry :-) & partially because I'm feeling more connected and able to focus on my job so I don't snack throughout the day at my desk as a way to avoid work! I've heard of people who've gained because they are finally feeling happy and good about themselves, though.
Also, inorgasmia has definitely hit. It takes awhile to get there and, although before I was very healthy & interested in that area, now it's not as important. Hopefully it'll come back as some have indicated on this site.
Overall though, I'm very pleased with the changes Lex has brought me in a very short time.
Good luck!

i started lexapro (10mg/day) shortly after i quit eating ice cream nightly and increased mt exercising. i dropped 50 lbs. in 3 months.
however lex has done very little for my mood.
no anorgasmia but very little libido.
