My issue is this. I have been on effexor for 5 years and I feel it is the most effective anti-depressant I have taken (I've also been on prozac and wellbutrin). I began taking Neurontin 4 years ago when my anxiety spurts were finally diagnosed. Neurontin solved the problem. Yet I believe that effexor has caused me to gain the 70 lbs. I've gained over the past 5 years collectively. I have read about Topamax and wonder if the combination of effexor and topamax will be better and help me to lose the weight (nothing works). The current combination of effexor and neurontin seem to just keep the weight on....and growing. My dosages are 225 mg effexor and 800 mg neurontin. I also take amoxycillin for acne. Help!
