Lexapro and Weight. Lexapro can cause changes in weight. There are some reports that people begin to lose weight when first taking Lexapro, but this is not well supported by research studies. The Mayo Clinic does list Lexapro, however, as an antidepressant that is less likely to contribute to weight gain.
As for increasing the dosage, you can go up by 5mg at a time, but if you do go to 20mg, buy the 20mg and take it once a day. Lexapro is expensive since it's still on patent, and that's cheaper than taking two 10mg tabs and does the same thing. I can tell you my psychiatrist raised me 5mg at a time.
