Please remember to read all the advice in the Dr. Atkin's Book, he does say that there are some medications you will not need, BUT, and that is a big BUT....you need to always consult with your doctor, especially for Anti-Depresents...I am also on Lexapro, I may decide to finally end it this summer, but I will do it under the guidance of my doctor. Lexapro does not have the gaining weight effects that some of the anti depresents do, so you should not have to worry about that. Seratonin is a huge reason why a lot of us our depressed, it may not be situational, but a chemical imbalance in the brain...whatever diet we are on, or WOL, I should say.....that chemical imbalance may never go away. Be very careful,,,,,this message is for anybody on anti depresents, you do need to wean off slowly and only under the advisement of your doctor so they can help you through it..

Hope all is better now??
