In reply to Effexor xr/ weight gain, posted by jeniwafer1 on September 22, 2000, at 11:51:32
> I took Effexor for about 16 months and went off of it about 6 weeks ago. I lost 25 plus pounds and got to a dangerously low body weight for me prior to taking Effexor. After being on the medication for a few months I happily gained the weight back. The problem now is that I have gained 25 more pounds on top of this. My eating and lifestyle habits haven't changed. I feel like I gain more weight everyday. My clothes keep getting tighter and tighter. I also feel so bloated and heavy all the time. I hope to here from someone out there that went back to a normal weight soon after going off Effexor. I weigh more now then I have in my entire life even pregnant. The good news is that I feel mentally great except for this nagging weight gain problem!
