I was not surprised by the carb-cravings with Effexor. Though I realize everyone is different, and there are those who report weight gain on Wellbutrin, I have really been surprised by my intense carb cravings with it.
Could this be a temporary side effect? Is it a result of some potentiation effect on Effexor? Is there some way I can alleviate it? I am not overweight, and I have generally had pretty good willpower where food is concerned, but the craving is very annoying. Is there a possibility this will diminish at a higher dose (i.e when I reach 300)?
Yes, I realize it just might be that my body reacts differently, but could you (or anyone) shed some light on this?
Thanks again.
