Don't apologize -

As far as weight gain - obviously - medications affect patients differently. My doctor said Lexapro was more for people with "elevated" or "anxious" personalities. I've been on it for a month and I haven't gained any weight. Before that, I was on Lexapro for about a year, and maybe I gained ten pounds that year, but it was because I was less active with more work responsibilities at a desk job.

Lexapro seems to be doing good for me, but obviously, I would regulate any questions to your doctor.

That said... I was back on Lexapro after my first major anxiety attack a month ago, and like the first time I was prescribed, my doctor said don't expect results for one to two weeks because that's how long it takes for that medication to take effect.

Hope this helps.
