[QUOTE="loricbme, post: 62051, member: 2036"] I took Lexapro for 9 mos. and gained 45 pounds. My therapist told me that it stimulates sugar cravings. The label reads, "may cause weight gain." It should read, "you're gonna pack it on sister!" So, I went off of that and started Wellbutrin SR. It helped but I needed switched to Wellbutrin XL. Wellbutrin is prescribed for people trying to quit smoking and it helps with weight loss. I've lost 20 lbs. since taking it. I also had libido issues on Lexapro. I am a much happier person post Lexapro. Have you seen an endocrinologist for your hypothyroidism? I'm assuming you're hypo since you had RAI. What dosage of thyroid medications do you take? Too much synthroid can cause the heart to race and feel palpitations. I had problems with it when I first had my thyroid removed and went on complete hormone replacement therapy. I see my endo every 3-4 months and we always discuss if I'm having palpitations or my heart is racing. Lori [/QUOTE]
