Hi There - I don't know anything about your other meds but I'm just coming down from 225mg Effexor - which has definitely made me fat. That's not why I'm coming off it, although my pdoc *was* concerned about possible health issues there - 20% bodyweight rise *is* quite extreme. What is your change? (percentages are quite subtle, if you're shy!)
It seems though that we all have unique reactions particularly weight-wise - Effexor is said to cause weight-*loss* after all!
My doc reassured me by saying that med. related weight change usually goes back to normal when you come off. If you're talking longterm use then you might just be stuck. Lots and lots of luck though,
