> Has anyone had success losing weight AFTER going off of Effexor XR? As a whole, Effexor XR worked for me. My depression is gone. I've gained weight, and lost my desire for sex, along with other side effects. This made me decide it was time to quit. I'm on day 2 with no Effexor - and I'm doing OK I guess. Aside from the dizziness, occassional nausea, hot/cold chills, it hasn't been nearly as bad as I feared. I'm just looking for hope that this weight will go away as quickly as it came.
Yes, I have had great success losing weight. I tappered down from 600mg Effexor XR to 150mg in two weeks. I had initially gained 20 lbs on Effexor XR, but, I have lost 60 lbs tapering down.
I now need a new wardrobe of cloths (XL > L) and I have had to add new knotches to my belt. Like every thing else Effexor XR effects every one differently (going on and off).Good luck
