Lost weight but I was exercising a lot at the time and the weight loss came from the exercise.
Experienced anti-depressant fueled mania which lasted for 2+ years. Sexual desire was not a problem.

I've been on it for about 9 months and I'm taking 30mg. I went from about 130 lbs down to about 118. I'm also on Klonopin and Abilify. I don't know if it's the Lexapro alone that made me lose weight or if it's a combination of the drugs. All I know is I'm definitely more active and that may be the reason I lost the weight.
I started at 10mg with dizziness, sleepiness and upset stomach. I had those side effects again when I was raised to 20mg and then to 30mg. Each time, the side effects went away after 2-3 days.

Im on Lexapro, and I have gained weight,but; I also retired and am 55 years old. I used to get a lot of exercise at work and dont now. My weight gain comes from age and lack of exercise.

I recently switched medications, but was on Lexapro for four years. I personally didn't gain NOR lose any weight, but I had a minimal appetite (I occasionally forced myself to eat at least something) and no sexual desire whatsoever, which was frustrating to my husband.
