> well thanks Rita! I really appreciate your advice!
> I will talk to my doctor about upping my dosage then. Have you by chance lost any weight with this med? I was on and off prozac for eight yrs and gained quite a bit of weight with it and my dr says that effexor has weight loss as a side effect. just curious. Thanks again! XOXOXOHi again...no, I didn't lose weight; but I had a complication (fibromyalgia) which meant I couldn't exercise ...however; I didn't gain any on it...even after I got a handle on the fibromyalgia...so that's a plus! and that's with a real MINIMUM of exercise...so, perhaps if you're good about routine workouts, you might get lucky and enjoy that positive side effect of losing weight!
