Hi there,I have gained 20 pounds in the year I have been taking it (now at 225 mg) but leveled off at my current weight a number of months ago. Have been working out at a gym for about 6 weeks. Feel a bit better in that arena. Some people on here have said they have lost weight. However, weighing everything (no pun intended), I have gotten myself fairly used to the gain as I feel SO much better mentally. Hope this helps.

> I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS HAD A REAL PROBLEM WITH WEIGHT GAIN ON EFFEXOR XR. MY DR. PUT ME ON THIS MEDICATION BUT I HAVE YET TO START TAKING IT. I WANTED TO RESEARCH AND READ WHAT EXPERIENCES OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD FIRST. I DON'T SEE MUCH MENTIONED REGARDING WEIGHT GAIN. HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO STAY ON THIS MED. AND MAINTAIN THEIR WEIGHT OR LOSE WEIGHT THEY MIGHT HAVE GAINED. THANKS!
