Hello Next or Escitalopram causes gain in weight, but it is not much significant in clinical practice. In a lot of people who are suffering from depression, hyperplasia may be seen, and it causes weight gain. As have mentioned you have gained considerably. Best thing you can do is go for brisk walking daily. It will not only decrease weight but will also check the depressive symptoms. If any need in dose of medicines occur then visit your psychiatrist.  Thanks
