It's not understood yet why one medication will have one side effect & yet a completely opposite effect for others. I've noticed that some SSRIs can either cause weight gain or weight loss in persons taking them. You gained weight on Effexor - I couldn't give it a long enough trial to see if it would've helped for me as within a week of taking it daily, I had lost all appetite & the thought of eating became repugnant. I had to quit it before I starved to death. I couldn't force more than a few spoonsful of food into me through a day.
