"i actually posted on here awhile back when i first started taking lexapro. i have now been on 10 mg/day for four months. it definitely has cured my depression and irritability, but i always feel fatigued and i can&#039;t seem to lose the belly fat i acquired since being on lexapro. my doctor insists this doesnot affect your metabolism or cause weight gain, but i am eating less (and better) than ever before, and exercising, and i can&#039;t lose any weight, where before, i could lose it pretty quickly with diet and exercise. i guess i&#039;m not really sure if it&#039;s the lexapro or not, but i do feel tired and bloated all the time. i am a really small person (4&#039;11&quot;) and the belly fat really shows. not sure what to do."
