Lexapro - i am exercising & watching food intake but can't lose weight, could lexapro b responsible asked 11 apr 2011 by alicianbids updated 28 february 2012 topics lexapro, anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, weight, food, medication. Changed to lexapro to drop the weight, and i can tell you that stringent diet and exercise (4 times a week, a 1200 calorie diet) has only allowed me to lose 15 of those pounds in the last 4 years. some people don't gain weight on lexapro, but many people do, and i know that it has prevented me from losing the weight i gained on paxil.. All i have heard is its impossible to lose weight even w/ exercise and diet. i am currently on lexapro and have been gaining weight since i started. if i can't lose the weight than i believe i will consider another medication. so if anyone out there has been able to lose weight on these meds, please let me know! thanks..
