Hi,
My understanding is that, in fact, effexor can cause weight gain due to the seratonin, and at the lower doses, one is really only getting the seratonin effect. However, I have been told by doctors, that effexor, once thought to be weight neutral, is NOT. I, too, gained weight and unfortunately started taking it after having babies and before I lost the pregnancy weight, and it made it IMPOOSSIBLE to lose any weight. My hubby could not believe that I was not losing with the exercise and small amount of food I eat.
