Is Effexor increasing your appetite????
I'm starting to wonder if it is mine-I'm also on Topamax and my appetite was decreasing-added Effexor and now I'm eating almost like a pig-please get back to me.Gal

thanks, all. Angel, I know exactly what you mean. I'm sick of feeling down (since my son was born 2 and 1/2 years ago!) I'm starting to think that's it's all drug company hype with the antidepressants. I feel slightly more stable, but not enough of an improvement to justify the side effects (zero sex drive and eating like a pig).
