Losing 30lbs in 2mo

After having bouts of exercising and CICO and never losing a pound I (25F) suddenly lost 30 pounds in 2 months without changing diet or doing any exercise.

The culprit? 30mg of Lexapro (yes I know that is too high, but that’s what was prescribed)

2 months ago I completely tapered off Lexapro after being on it for about 10 years. I am 5’5” and weighed 180 pounds. Today I weighed in at 150.4.

I understand everyone’s body is different, but maybe switching up meds is the way to go or something to try! I’m actually on twice as many psych meds now than when I was on Lexapro. 2 are actually appetite stimulants!!! Still lost the weight.

Please do not stop your meds if it will impact your mental health. Consult w your psych to see if tapering off and titrating on something else is possible!
