Hmmm

I went for a 6 week follow up and complained to my doctor about an increased appetite and sluggishness. (I feel GREAT otherwise) She wants to monitor me for another 4 weeks to see if my symptoms change... So far they havent...

So - I'm not grossly overweight but I have been on weight watchers since the end of April (before starting Lexapro) and I had been losing then - I just couldn't stop eating... Not that I've ever been a compulsive over eater, I would actually consider myself an emotional eater... So... Back to WW this past Monday to find I gained almost 6lbs in 2 weeks... I had lost almost 14 lbs up until then.

So, maybe our sitations are similar - weight gain - but not the same - I have an increased appetite and you don't...

Have you contacted your doctor? You said you cut out the junk but, are you eating more than you usually would?? Even if it's "good stuff"?
