I guess I'm not alone. I was on Effexor for about a year and a half. I lost weight in the beginning, but overall I gained approx. 25 pounds in the time I was on it. I've been off for almost a month now. I was hoping the weight would come off as quickly as it went on. I've lost about 5 lbs in the past month - give or take. I've also started walking on the treadmill, pilates, and other physical activity to help get the weight off. I'm also watching what I eat. The weight went on almost overnight with no change in my lifestyle. I'm thinking it will be a little tougher to get it off!
I too would love to hear from anyone who has had success loosing weight after quitting Effexor.
