Easier weight loss on lower dose?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hello, I've been on Lexapro for a couple of years and in that time, have gained around 25lbs that i just cannot shift (I understand it's a common side effect).

I'm not ready to come off Lexapro yet, but I'm curious to know whether anyone who experienced similar found that reducing to a lower dosage made it a little easier to lose the weight? For example, reducing from 10mg down to 5mg?

Thanks in advance!
