I have the opposite, rarer, reaction with depression: I eat way too much, carbs especially. Over the years with chronic depression, I've developped a weight problem. Since starting to take Effexor about 3 weeks ago, I have had no more cravings and I have lost 7 lbs. In fact, I am not hungry at all and must schedule my meals, otherwise I tend to forget.
I consider this a benefit so far. In fact, if I eat junk food high in carbs (chips for example), I tend to not feel too well after. It takes hours to digest it seems, so now the mere thought of chips turns my stomach.
It may all change in the long-run of course. But I hope not. I eat a lot better without cravings.
