Weight gain can occur with escitalopram (Nexito), especially with long-term use. However, the choice of an alternative antidepressant depends on your diagnosis, current symptom control, previous response to medications, and other medical conditions.
There are alternative SSRI options that can be considered which are weight neutral, but it has to be done by the psychiatrist after evaluating your current mental status
Next Steps
1.Consult a psychiatrist before making any medication changes.
2. Review the amount of weight gained, duration of treatment, and current symptom control.
3. Consider evaluation for other causes of weight gain such as thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, reduced physical activity, dietary changes, or sleep disturbances.
Health Tips
Do not discontinue Nexito abruptly, as this may lead to dizziness, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance, and recurrence of symptoms. Any medication change should be gradual and individualized guided by the doctor
If your current medication helps you significantly in terms of mental health, you may have to try lifestyle changes to reduce weight before making changes jn medication
