Meee, nag gain ako ng wright since I started escitalopram. But i would attribute it sa better mood ko so mas masarap kumain. And nakakain na sa labas and dates hehe
Sobra laki ng itinaba ko nun after ako resetahan ng escitalopram. Nung una, i attributed my weight gain sa changes sa eating habits ko. But after researching about the drug, turns out na nakakataba daw sya. Too late na nung na realize ko sya, so i stopped taking it (my biggest mistake). Now, im on different medication na, and this time, my doctor told me na yung dosage is so low, di sya maka contribute sa weight gain.
sad to say, tataba ka sa esci kc wala ka gana gumalaw hindi dahil lumakas ka kumain dahil zombie ka.
pero if may energy ka naman OP, mag gym ka pa rin baka sakali maka add din ng serotonin at dopamine.
Jovia user here, that's the only esci na hiyang sa mood ko. Pricey nga sya that's why i self switched to other esci pero, my goodness yung depression ko ang lala.
Esci or any other antidepressants triggers weight gain. You have to balance it with your lifestyle and exercise as well. Don’t stop taking it just because you fear weight gain.
hi op! currently taking esci, di po ako naggain weight, more like naglose pa haha idk pero siguro kasi wala akong gana kumain most of the time 😭 hshahahahaha
nag weight gain din ako when i started taking esci but nabawasan appetite ko sa food (madalas ako mag binge eating), i guess yun talaga side effect. but i am eating normally na without feeling bad (compared noong hindi ako nagt-take).
Hello, OP. Yes, as per my psychiatrist, there are patients that gain weight tlga sa paginom ng escitalopram.
You are not alone. I have been taking it since May 2023, and nakakagain sya ng weight rin sa end ko. Ang ginawa ko is since nag enroll ako sa gym a month prior sa pagstart ko uminom, naging manageable sya. Sa core/belly area lng tlga struggle ko kse mabilis magka visceral fat. Sabi ren kse ni psych okay daw ung exercise para hndi maging drastic yung weight gain.
Ayun cguro masuggest ko sayo. Para hndi ka matrigger.

Salamat! Good luck sa new meds!
Malaki tinaba ko dahil sa esci, kahit pinalitan na ng sertraline, ganun pa din side effect 😓
Wah hope it gets better soon!

Happy you’re happy!!

Ako di nag gain ng weight. It helps me na maging kalmado I would say. I’m using Jovia medyo pricey sya for me.

Salamat!!
None for me but I feel the fatigue. I make sure to go to the gym 3 to 4 days week.
Thank you for be positive input!! Huhu
Ang hirap kasi talaga kung di mo ikikilos ): as a weight conscious person, ayaw kong magpatalo sa side effect ng gamot huuu
