hey formerlyshy-
every1 reacts diff. 2 meds and effexor had a similiar effect 4 me. i had NO energy but i had no appetite either? i was trying to lose the weight i gained after having my lil boy and w/o energy, it was a struggle! now that i'm off effexor i have booocooos of energy and am dropping weight (even though i STAY hungry :-D)...the effexor seems 2 be helping u alot and u still enjoy sex-that's a plus b/c i lost my sex drive while on effex. so i'll tell u what i did....i saw a weight doc. that put me on amide 37.5mg (generic 4 phentermine HCL)and it really controlled my appetite and increased my energy but i HAD to eat right to get the full effects. believe me-im not a health nut(just a nut) but once i saw the diff. w/ how i felt(after stopping the diet pill) by eating certain foods more than others-i have cont. and havnt gained...Good luck & take care-carolina PS-always ck w/ ur doc b4 taking ANY med w/ effexor or any A/D!!!!!!
