In reply to Re: EFFEXOR XR is great but the excess WEIGHT is NOT, posted by 3djp on June 1, 2006, at 7:28:46
i know several women who've gained lots of weight on effexor. i was not one who did. (i had to discontinue because it never worked for me, after a very long trial). it seems more do stay the same or lose weight, but there is definitely, imo, a smaller group that does gain.
seems to me that those that gain find effexor sedating; those that don't find it stimulating, with bad insomnia, but don't seem to feel bad with only a few hrs. sleep.
i find it VERY hard to believe that your doc says he's not seen this before.
