All I was prescribed Lexapro in 2003 after being unemployed and having anxiety issues. I have been on since then and have noticed that when I diet down I dont' loose more then 10 even after 12-16 weeks of contest prep dieting. I am dieting now and in 5 weeks only lost about 6 pounds. I am down to 204 and know I should be closer to 190. I have read various forums about weight gain and lexapro. so I am coming off it at least till after my show. Hopefully my fat loss will accelarate in a couple weeks. I am doing double cardio at 50 carbs a day struggling to get weight off. Does anybody have a similar experiance and if so how did you deal with it?

I have a hard time loosing weight with Lexapro as well. The one good thing about it is there are no sexual side effects!
