I started gaining weight after 6 months and to date have gained about 10-12lbs. I am on a very restricted diet as is due to multiple food allergys and exercise 4-5 times a week. This is extremly frustrating and my Dr has suggested cutting my pills in half to 5mg. Hopefully this works,otherwise I will consider being weaned off of them. The effects otherwise were minimal and the Cipralex did its job well. I have been on Cipralex for 2 years. I started gaining weight after 6 months and to date have gained about 10-12lbs.

But the weight gain is really getting to me I had to buy two sizes bigger cause my clothes don't fit anymore ,I have never reached that weight except while pregnant ! Any ideas how to lose the weight if I need to stay on cipralex longer ?

My issue is I think it is affecting my weight. Yes I understand the sweets craving, but I have started on a protein diet & I'm not losing at all. Instead I'm gianing. My issue is, is it possible to experience weight gain after 6 months. I would have expected such to at least imemediately after you've started on the drug. Also I exercise regularly, but still no change. Help please!? I have started using cipralex 7 months ago and apparently have 7 more months to go. My issue is I think it is affecting my weight.

I just started Cipralex today and I don't want to gain weight since it is my phobia. I will try this advice and let you know if it really works for me. Thank you for this information.
