Hi, When I have always been on Effexor- I didn't gain weight. If any, about 6 Lbs. When I first started it too-I lost weight because I wasn't hungry and the nausea too. It's different with different people-I guess. Prozac made me gain-simply because I was feeling well-but I gained a whopping 80 Lbs. What is your dosage of Effexor, may I ask?
Try not to worry about it until it does, or doesn't happen, but I understand what you are saying. All the best,
Kristen:-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm curious--when does the weight GAIN happen on Effexor. I've been on it for six weeks and actually lost six pounds in two weeks due to nausea and anorexia. I'm thin to begin with and now just look gross. My appetite is back but I haven't noticed any abnormal weight gain. Does this happen later? Is it due to increased appetite, water-retention, just feeling good and eating more? I upped my doseage today and am dreading the anorexia.
Thanks for your input.
