I will turn 56 years old at the end of this month. I went through menopause when I had my hysterectomyHysterectomy Hysterectomy - series 18 years ago. I quit my job last June. Since then I have gained approx 15 pounds. I also decreased the amount of EffexorEffexor Effexor xr I was taking form 150 to 75 and now 37.5mg. I now work out about 3 times a week, cardio and weight training. Do any of you think that the Slim Quick I just purchased will help me lose this weight, soon?
Also, does my reduction of EffexorEffexor Effexor xr have anything to do with my weight gain? I
I am on EffexorEffexor Effexor xr and thought that it was affecting my ability to lose weight. You seem to think the opposite that is reducing the EffexorEffexor Effexor xr is making you gain weight. I wonder what affect if any EffexorEffexor Effexor xr has. It may depend on the individual. As a side note did you have any withdrawal symptoms? I may reduce my dosage later this year.
I wanted to respond to your posts. I took Effexor for 11 years and was just recently able to get off of it. My experience is different for most but familiar with Golah56. I have gained about 10 pounds in just 3 weeks after stopping the medication. It's a nightmare, I feel like I can't control it no matter what I do. I'm really struggling with it so if anyone gets answers, please let me know. Withdrawl from this drug is a true nightmare, I can't even begin to list my side effects. Just be very careful and do not do it without being under the supervision of a doctor.
