    Hi did you tell your doctor you were on lexapro and if so did you ask why he has changed them for you

      I told him I tried lexapro for one day and that it gave me a really bad panic attack 7 hours later. And during the last 8 months I've lost well over 20 pounds. He said the Zoloft was similar, but would help me gain weight. I've just never really knew anybody that has taken Zoloft nor have I heard that much about it
