Hello, since you are on treatment for anxiety, escitalopram is one of the best medicine to help you overcome your symptoms. Though it may cause decreased sex drive or/and libido as a side effect, you don't have to worry because it is reversible on stopping or changing the medicine. You should discuss it with your doctor who will definitely change or moderate the medicine depending on the treatment response.

You have to understand that controlling your ocd is far more important to maintain your occupational functioning as compared to the weight gain. I know airlines are strict with...more

The adjustment phase when starting a new medication can vary from person to person. Generally, side effects like drowsiness and changes in mood may occur in the initial weeks as your body adapts to the medication. For most people, these side effects tend to lessen over time.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications.

Your medicines are not making you gain weight but your mood is. As one feels good and improved after medicine they tend to eat more but neglect physical activities. Increase your exercise time.
