How did you do it? I chunked on 25 pounds after starting Lexapro for anxiety a few years ago. The drug works great for me otherwise. I have healthful habits--count calories, no sugar, few refined grains, no junk food, exercise vigorously 3-4 times a week--still the scale will not budge downward except a pound or two, and then it goes back up. Thyroid checks out fine; in fact, I'm very healthy according to all lab-measurable parameters. I do not want to spend my life in the gym, but am willing to spend some more time if necessary. Bonus points if, like me, you're a 40+ woman, but all input welcome. Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2010:site.161078 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:42:15 -0800 escitalopram lexapro ssri ssrisideeffects ssriweightgain weightmanagement sister nunchaku of love and mercy http://ask.metafilter.com/77693/Is%2DSCitadep%2Dthe%2Dsame%2Dthing%2Das%2DLexapro Is S-Citadep the same thing as Lexapro? I have seen ads online for the drug Escitalopram Oxalate (marketed as S-Citadep) from the Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla. Is this the same thing as Lexapro? It seems to be at about 1/3 the cost of Lexapro, but am curious about the legality of making such a purchase, as well as whether or not it is reliably the same thing as what I'm taking. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77693 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 07:40:06 -0800 escitalopram genericdrugs lexapro psychopharmacology Gervais Brooke-Hamster
