HI Spu,
I was on effexor for about 5 months and found out
early on that it took much greater effort to do the things I usually did when working out. Especially on the tread mill. I could never get up to my top speed while on effexor. I felt like a lead weight and tired. I also gained weight while on this drug and was constipated. It helped
with the depression, but toward the 5 month period
it was just way toooo sedating. I stopped working out I was so tired. but, everyone responds so differently. I wasn't one of the lucky one's who love effexor. Best of luck to you. Angel1
