Hi Emma....I too have experienced weight gain on effexor. I've gained 13lbs in 8 months. I spoke to my doctor and he attributed it to the fact that I'm more relaxed and hence the weight doesn't bother me like it used to. I don't agree. I find it goes on very easy and I'm able to get a couple of pounds off only to put it back on a few days later. I'm currently trying slim fast shakes and bars to see if that will help. I'm thinking of coming off effexor this fall...scared to death to do it but if the weight keeps coming on...I think that will put me back in a depression. What's your dosage of effexor xr? I'm on 37.5. Willie
