I am on it too, and I agree that weight gain is easier for me to deal with than my depression. I can buy bigger pants, but I can't deal with losing sleep and losing interest in anything fun. Therapy is great too.
I’m on week 7 and having intermittent days, some good some not so good. I have been on lexapro for many years but just recently went up to 20. Hopefully it will get better. Starting therapy next week.
Hi! I've been on Lexapro too for about 4 months consistently, and it's helped me a good bit in my regards to anxiety. Regarding to my weight, I haven't gained any (yet lol), but I do feel I have water retention, which is really annoying. Your positive energy really shines through in this video. I'm so glad to hear you sought out therapy and you're doing well. You seem like such a genuine, selfless person. God bless you, and I hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you so so much Chrissy! I appreciate your kind words. If you have an Instagram, add me @katyknifley. I would like to keep up with you on your journey of overcoming!
Hi sweety, its been a while, i remember you where one of the firsr videos i saw about lexapro when i was all bad.... im about 4 months into it ... it has changed for the better a lot too... and yeah the weight gain definetly i feel more hungry ... but its ok ... Im glad to hear you are good too
Girl I’m soooo happy to hear you’re doing better. That makes my heart happy! I know you have watched my other videos and so glad for your support! Hugs!!!!!! Have an amazing day! :))
Hi Carolina, how long would you say it took to feel the full benefits? I’m at week 5 and the anxiety comes and goes. I do feel some positive differences.
The ending of this video just made me cry! I have been in my room because I have thought the worst due to my anxiety. When she said go outside, I feel like I needed that. Are you still making videos somewhere else? Because your last video was 2 years ago. I love to hear about your journey now!!!
It doesnt actually cause weight gain, its more that you have an increased appetite due to not being as anxious anymore. If we keep an eye on that increased appetite we shouldnt gain.
b dee I agree! When I was having a lot of anxiety and panic attacks I had zero appetite and lost sooo much weight. Also your body is in fight or flight so your metabolism is crazy high and you’re using an insane amount of energy.
i was on lexapro since 2012.I just quite this lexapro from 3 months ago when i stopped taking this, the first 2 months are fine but the 3rd one i mean current month is really hard for me ... I have all my depression ,anxiety , panic attacks ... just came Back...that i have 6 years earlier .. But i dont want to take this medicine again .. I know how much can i bear .. I am still trying to do it myself.😖
Definitely more tired the first week or two, but then also insomnia? Like I was sleepy, but would wake up at 2 AM and be wide awake. That has definitely gone away though. Just gotta ride it out.
I am on 10 mg 6 days just now hehe but I took 5mg for a week before....I hope I will feel less anxious in a month,I hope I gain weight hehe,my BMI is 17.5 being underweight sucks hahah
Were you able to sleep? and how fast did it get rid of your anxiety.....I am afraid to take an SSRI....because when I took Paxil I almost took my life....it was an awful drug and hormones helped instead...but now I am 77 years old and lost my mother and my anxiety is bad day and night...
I just started on 10mg and it's wayyyy too strong. I was knockout for about 2 days. I may need to do 5 mg for now. I just want to be healed and over this anxiety. I'm also in therapy.
Hey girl! I have not noticed any hair loss or thinning yet! Yes still on the meds and will be until spring of next year because that will be a year cycle for me and that’s what my doc recommended!!
I am 4 days in 10mg. I started taking it in the morning and felt edgy. I decided to last night trying it before bedtime, I was very wary that it would cause insomnia but I slept like a baby so I’m going to continue taking it at bedtime. Thanks for your help! Btw you are too pretty!
I’m on my 3rd month on Lexapro now. I’ve found taking it in the evening around 8 pm is pretty ideal for me personally. At first the anxiety was a little amplified, but now, I feel as though it’s working out pretty well. By the way, you’re really pretty, you know that? LoL
Katlyn Knifley actually, watching your videos helped me decide what medication to try. So I appreciate the help. You’re doing great, Katlyn. Keep up the awesome work!!

Yes I totally understand!
I hear people talking about weight gain and low sex drive. I'd rather have both than feeling like not waking up!

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lexapro. I just started 10 mg today and was so afraid you have eased my mine. God Bless you!!!

Hi 👋 are you on this medication 💊?
If so how is your sleep and weight gain 🤔

Correct.
b dee I agree! When I was having a lot of anxiety and panic attacks I had zero appetite and lost sooo much weight. Also your body is in fight or flight so your metabolism is crazy high and you’re using an insane amount of energy.
I had weight loss. I tend to overeat when depressed, anxious.
