about my steady weight gain on Effexor. I can no longer sit comfortably, the rolls on my stomach just get in the way. I look horrible, terrible, awful. I don't deserve to gain weight, I am so careful with my eating. When I get hungry now, I drink a glass of water, and I'm STILL gaining weight!!
It's nearly two months on Effexor and life is tolerable but the weight gain isn't. I think I would rather live with depression and be thin again. Being fat is making me depressed on top of the med anyway. I am desperately unhappy about the way I look and I didn't even contribute! Self confidence and self esteem are non existant and it's affecting my marriage.
I think I am going to chuck Effexor. (Or start smoking again)
I just don't know what to do anymore. I just don't know.
