I lost weight in the first two months I FIRST went on Effexor XR (75 mg per day.) I was overweight. Unfortunately, that did not last and as the dosage was increased (up to 450 mg per day) my binge eating and depression returned. I have since gone on it again after a long layoff and my appetite and depression have increased. Seems for me, the VERY FIRST time I used Effexor and Prozac, it had an appetite suppresant effect but it wears off after a few weeks or 1 - 2 months and it never comes back!
