Effexor question.......
I posted about a week ago that my doctor stopped my Zoloft because it reaced its "poop out" point(stopped working) and i was experiencing really bad depression/anxiety again after being on zoloft for 18months. My doc tried Lexapro but i experienced very fast weight gain since being on it so he stopped it. i saw him tonight for a check up appointment on the Medication adjustments. Being the lexapro made me gain weight He decided to try effexor for me I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this medication? I've heard a side effect is actually weight loss? Thanks
Thank you... yes there is a ton of people with scary effexor horror stories but everyone is different
Hello, I am on Effexor 150mg daily. I have put on lots of weight - but that is because it makes me feel hungry for carbohydrates. If you control your diet you should be OK. Some people lose weight on anti-depressants, and some people gain.
There is a lot of information about Effexor on this site. Don't let the posts about withdrawal put you off. I hope it works for you, and your depression soon goes. I find Effexor has stopped all my depression and anxiety with no side effects.
Good luck, and take care.
