Xenadrine and Lexipro? - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

lahuera · 07-10-2003, 10:24 PM

I'm thinking about trying out Xenadrine EFX-1 but I am already on Lexipro for depression. Since my diagnosis of depression there has been a serious weight gain. I am in desperate need of some weight loss for health purposes. I am eating right and have started regular gym visits. Would taking Xenadrine mess with the Lexipro and the good results I'm having from using it? Thanx to whoever answers.

I was on zoloft and I took xenadrine or ripped fuel the whole time and I was fine. Not sure if zoloft is close to the same as what you are using but you might want to talk to your doctor. I gained a lot of weight on zoloft and decided it wasn't worth it, plus the zoloft wasn't working well anyway.

BTW I don't believe that these stimulants will interfere with the effectiveness of your antidepressant, but they could interact to cause some nervousness or anxiety, so be careful.

the best thing to do is run it by your dr. the last thing u want to do is have bad side effects. some ppl have really bad side effects on those fat burners and they aren't even on other meds.
