I'm on lexapro, and I had quite a few side effects at the beginning, which is odd from what my doctor told me; she said it tends to have fewer side effects than other anti-depressants. At first I had acne, headaches, nausea, hot flashes, and strangely enough, gas. I didn't really gain any weight on it, perhaps a couple of pounds. They have all subsided though; the only remaining effect is a lowered libido, which has been steadily increasing since I took it. It's not at 100% right now, but before I was on the meds, I had absolutely none, so it's helped me as far as that is concerned.
