> Hi Everyone - I am trying hard to fight the Effexor weight gain I have been experiencing and have started not so much dieting but eating better. I have Dr. Weil's book "Eating better for optimal health" and have been following that food pyramid eating lots of low-glycemic index foods. Problem though, whenever I don't eat for a while I get a weird feeling like I'm shaking but not on the outside, just inside and I start feeling anxious. I'm not talking about going a long time without food, but for goodness sake I think I should be able to go 3-4 hours without eating!! I get plenty of exercise by walking between 2 and 5 miles a day. Don't know what to make of this. All advice welcome!!
Maisy,
It sounds like this is a likely to be the diet as the effexor, especially if you are losing weight. Low glycemic can become too low calorie very easily if you're not careful.
Just something to consider.
