Question from Trinity M.: I was on zoloft for a few years for anxiety and it worked okay but not too great (probably because I got used to it after a few years)...so I switched to lexapro. I have been on lexapro for 2-3 weeks already and am reading stuff online that lexapro can cause hair loss. Anyone have experience w/ this or w/ taking lexapro? Thanks!
Rachel W. say: As an aside, I don't know if it's the Lexapro or life in general, but I put on about 15 lbs. after I started this stuff and I can't seem to shake it. I've tried going off the med but my TMJ gives me excruciating migraines, earaches, teeth pain, jaw pain, face pain, neck pain, you name it, so in the end the 15 lbs doesn't seem so bad and this SSRI is the only treatment that has worked to alleviate my temporomandibular joint disorder. Try not to read too much online most of it is untrue and will just scare you. Everyone's physiology is different so the medication will be tolerated as such.
