SSRI’s

I have just started Lexapro and wondered if anyone gained weight on
it? I’m hoping not. I have myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia
which it is supposed to help plus the depression from the above!!! I
wondered if anyone here had been on Cymbalta? They advertise it as so
wonderful for pain too and my dau. had bad reaction to it so I went
with Lexapro after I tried effexor after having been on Paxil for a
few years. I lost some weight BTW after stopping the Paxil but that
drug is harder than heck to get off of. Just curious about other’s
experiences with both lexapro and the Cymbalta. linda

    I was boosted to 20 mg of lexapro and 50 mg of Benadryl at bedtime. I also
    suffer with fibromyalgia, and I do take tylenon with codine for extreme pain and
    they are fine to be taken together according to my doctor. I go back on the 5th
    fo July.
