Re: On medication again :( - June 10th 2020, 07:31 AM

I was on a similar drug: escitalopram--which is basically the same thing as a teenager. It did not make me gain any weight. In fact I noticed few effects from it. Some slight improvement in mood maybe but was not enough to make a large difference. If I went off suddenly would get brain zaps and feel somewhat feverish. Other than that, it was not a very strong drug.

The first time I took it, while I was aware that it would take weeks for it to "work", I consciously paid attention to see if I could feel any sort of head change at all when it hit. Nothing.


I was also on Adderall though and that will mitigate some of the side effects.
