I've been taking Effexor XR now for the last 4 weeks to help
treat my panic and anxiety disorders.
Since that time, I've noticed a major weight loss.
At the end of my pregnancy almost 10 months ago, I weighed
173lbs and now since I've been on Effexor XR, I'm down
to 135lbs. People keep asking me what I'm doing to lose
all of the weight and I never really thought about how it's
been happening until now. I was checking out a website out of
curiosity and read somewhere that a few people have either
been losing the weight or gaining it. For all it's worth, this
is the first medication that I've been able to take without
experiencing any symptoms(nausea). At this time, I feel great
about myself, more since the weight loss, and I've been able to
do more things without having any panic attacks. This medication
is great and I plan on sticking with it until my Dr. advises me
otherwise.Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, comments,
advice or even just to exchange information.Good Luck,
