Does anyone NOT GAIN weight on Effexor or Lexapro?
by Coneym, Apr 17, 2008 06:23PM
Everyone seems to always complain about large weight gains using SSRIs such as Effexor and Lexapro. My Dr. wants me to be on one of them and I was wondering if ANYONE out there has NOT GAINED weight on them? I won't take them if I am going to have a weight problem....been there....done that and won't do it again. Please let me know.

On Effexor XR, I myself, did not gain weight on 300 mg a day, and neither did two other people I know whom were taking it (can't remember their doses, but was lower than mine). I DID however lose my sex drive almost completely! I never had an experience with Lexapro nor know anyone who did so I can't answer for that one. Good Luck.

To: Hello everyone
I took Effexor for 11 years and actually lost weight when I started it. It leveled out over several months but I warn that now that I'm off of it, I am really packing on the weight and I feel like I have no control over it. I have a lean frame and this is making me crazy. I would just like for everyone to be aware of this! It's a nightmare drug for several reasons besides that too.
