[QUOTE=Hammy5;2380440]I just started Lexapro a couple of days ago and seem to be doing ok on it. The one thing that I really notice is that I am hungry ALL the time. Like to the point where my stomach is growling. This is not normally how I am. Is this an early sign that I will gain weight on this drug? I am not willing to do that so I would prefer to get off it if that is going to be the case.

I too have just started taking Lexapro. My doctor told me I would lose weight on it I hope so cause I cannot afford to gain any weight! I have high blood pressure and am taking Lotrel 5/20! I have only been on Lexapro for like 5 days now and the only side affect I am feeling is a nauseated stomach! I take my ad at night too and I get the stomach pains in the morning but I did try taking it with applesauce and than drink a glass of milk after and I did not have the nausea the next morning. I hope this ad helps me with my depression cause I cannot take it any more.
