How can persistent weight gain associated with Nexito (escitalopram) therapy for depression be managed when lifestyle modifications, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, have proven ineffective?
Since lifestyle changes haven't helped manage this side effect of Nexito (escitalopram), there are still several medical options we can explore. Sometimes, slightly adjusting the dose of escitalopram, switching to an alternative antidepressant less associated with weight gain, or adding a complementary medication can help. I highly recommend scheduling a chat with your doctor to discuss these options safely, ensuring we support both your mental wellness and your physical well-being together.
