As you can probably assume by my screen name, weight is a concern of mine also. I'm quite happy with the side effects of Effexor. I've lost 3 and a half percent body fat and I have more energy. The first week or so, I had nausea with some acid reflux but that's completely gone now. I used to take Prozac and was satisfied with it as an AD but it killed my sex life. So far, Effexor doesn't seem to effect my libido too much.
