What do you think? (Question about Lexapro).

Saw my p-doc yesterday. I had so many great things to tell her! What a
change a year makes!!! However, I still have feelings of "dread" (as I call
it) when I'm getting ready to go somewhere. Whether it's work, groceries,
the mall, etc... I have to talk myself through the panic/anxiety, or as I
call it, '"the dread". So we've decided to up my Lex from 10 mgs. to 20 mgs.
Does this mean I'm going to gain more weight with the 10 mg. increase??

What do you think?? And, how much are you on, if you take Lexapro?

i know lots of people who take 20.
your side effects should not change.

start an exercise program since your metabolism gets sluggish with the
aging process.

hope the higher dose helps you!

working isn't enough. our metabolisms slow down when "the big M" sets
in. even if we exercise, we still can gain weight. it sucks :-(
