hey so I've been on Escitalopram 20 MG for like 2-3 years now and idk if it works anymore like I feel like I'm just here half the time. I kind of want to ask my Dr to try something different but I blame myself so much for how I feel. And that's bc I don't think I do enough to help myself, especially with losing weight. I know that their are anti depressants that help with weight loss I'm just not sure how to go about asking my Dr for something like that. Anyone got any advice?

I felt better once my Dr switched me from escitalopram to sertraline. Although I became more active my weight is still the same.

It talking to your doctor is hard writing it out and giving it to your doctor can be easier.
If I were you, I'd tell your doctor what you said in this post in summary. Fluoxetine helped me lose a lot of weight and feel happier in contrast to sertraline and escitalopram on their own. I no longer take fluoxetine, but when I did, I was simultaneously taking duloxetine (and still do) in case that presents any weight factors. However, keep in mind that antidepressants affect everyone differently! :)

It's important to have an open conversation with your doctor about your concerns and explore the possibility of trying a different antidepressant or additional treatments to help with weight loss and energy levels.
