Help!!! I have been having multiple symptoms and not sure whats going on and neither are the doctors. My anni date is Aug 2003, I done very well at first and lost 135 lbs. Now I have gained around 80 lbs in a year and having other health problems. I stopped lexapro a week ago and have lost 9 lbs, but I have been having alot of unexplained problems even before stopping the lexapro which more than likely are somehow linked to rny. So I thought I would come straight to the experts and see what you think. Symptoms: Very light headed-like never before(fell after standing last night) fatigue right side pain(docs say possibly liver problems) chills with no fever bad sudden headache some confusion and or having to think a little harder about things to figure it out unexplained weight gain but lost 9 lbs in a week(not complaining about that part) hypoglycemic(insulin resistance) alkaline phos- high folate serum-high B-12- low(290) Has anyone out there had some of these or all of these symptoms and figured it out what the problem is. I know that low B-12 can cause alot of these problems but with my blood work being off I am not sure if thats the whole picture. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated I'm totally lost with this. Thanks to the experts out there!!! J Sweet

Johanna I am so sorry you are having all these problems. Have your thyroid and parathyroid functions been checked? Elizabeth

I use to take lexapro, they took me off of it during my surgery and I'm not going back on it. I plan to find another antidepressent without the side effect of weight gain. All I could say about all of this is be sure to take vitamins and b-12. Dehydration can cause headaches and confusion. I think your Dr needs to evaluate you again. Good luck hope you start feeling better.
