You mention that Effexor XR caused weight gain -- that is not my experience. Many other Psych meds lead to my 40 lb increase, but Effexor XR would not be on my blame list. Your second question -- can stress, anxiety, smoking and low appetite cause weight loss -- ABSOLUTELY! That combination can cause a whole lot more than that too! Please, see your doctor and discuss this with him/her. For someone on Effexor XR, that combo is not a safe one. Maybee meds for the anxiety and stress might be in order. Be careful and take care of yourself.
