G`day babble friends,
Wow this weight gain on Efexor is huge. I have put on sooo much weight. I am feeling very good mentally though, so I suppose we have to make some sacrifices. I was just wondering whether anyone else has had such a huge weight gain as well? I have been to see my doc and she said basically there is nothing that can be done apart from me being more disciplined(hahahaha maybe one day). I am also really tired and have minimum motivation, so that makes it hard to exercise etc. The doctors here in Australia just don`t seem to know much about AD`s and others, she won`t give me anything to pick me up so I can function normally. No doc has ever referred me to anyone else or really helped me in any other way. I get more advice from the pharmacist. What a whinger I must sound like, but as you all know we have those days! All of you guys talk about trying other meds like they are simple to get (nothing against anyone) I guess it just must be because, well we are in different countries!
So any advice on anything that may be helpful would be greatly appreciated, as I am about to sit my second year Nursing exams and would like to be awake for them!!!!
Sincerely
Alison.
