Hi, I'm on my third week of Effexor and I have lost 9 Lbs. If you want to lose a little wight-Good luck, it's a great side effect for me anyway:-)

================================================================================================== Yes!
I lost 15 lbs (130-->115) on Effexor! All within about a month too. The second time I went on it, I was thinner to start with, but I still lost 5 lbs. Both times I kept the weight off while on it and for MONTHS after going off it.
I was taking 400 mg/day the first time (though I built up to that dose over 6 weeks), and 150 mg the second time.
Good luck!
Btw, I gained 10 lbs on Remeron, a couple pounds (<5) on Prozac and Zoloft, and I had no weight changes from Wellbutrin, Reboxetine, or Tianeptine.
