Effexor can cause some people to gain/lose weight. Many people do not. Get a good exercise routine where u can at least walk at a quick pace for 30min or 3 miles depending if using a treadmill,bike, elliptical. Eat frequently (good food).
Good luck!> I too gained weight on Effexor, about 30 pounds. I think part of it is the fact that when one feels good they eat, I also was not as anxious about body image/etc.

> What has helped is sticking to a low carb diet, less carbs, less cravings. I too was hungry all the time. Of course exercise is key, I have lost some of the weight.
