Here's info: Generic name is escitalopram and it is not uncommon but can be managed usually. Read both: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/antidepressants/art-20049305 and http://www.anxiety2calm.com/blogger/2009/09/cipralex-weight-gain.html Ask your Dr to work w/ you on this to find the best way to get the best outcome. Add therapy too! it's shown to be the best combo!
