Hi to all,
My dr is suggesting that i start lexapro & after reading everyone's posts i am having doubts. i just weaned myself off 4,800mg of neurontin after 3 yrs for spinal pain as it just stopped working. i am wondering if lexapro is the kind of med that requires a higher dose as one takes it. it would be for depression not as a pain med. the depression is partly because of chronic pain & the limitations. i am also very concerned about weight gainas a side effect, as with neurontin i gained 30 lbs and losing it is a slow process. btw diet has nothing to do with it.
any advice would be helpful
thank everyone in advance,
Lucy624
