That's an interesting observation. I have a speedy metabolism and weighed the same from the age of 19 to about 48 (about 145 pounds at 6 foot 3). Just in the last couple of years, on meds, have I actually put on weight for the first time in my life (pushing 170 now). I can't tell whether it's because I'm 50 and my metabolism is changing, whether it's the hypersomnia, which robs me of the time in which I might exercise, or if it's just the incredible appetite I have on Effexor. It seems like I've always eaten thousands of calories a day more than most people, but it's never put any weight on me before.
I'll be interested to read what other people have to say.
