After a year and a half on Effexor XR, I have gained roughly 30 lbs. Before Effexor, I was a size 2 or 4, and weighed anywhere from 115-120. After a year and a half, I was a size 8 to 11, and weighed roughly 145 pounds. During my time on the Effexor, I saw no changes in my appetite, activity level, food intake, or anything else that would cause me to gain weight - but I did. I've been off Effexor for 9 days, I've started a rigorous exercise routine - 30 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes of Pilates, 10 minutes of weight lifting. I've also cut out the carbs and sugars and increased my protein and water intake. For the past 4-5 weeks, I've also been taking Trim Spa weight loss pills. All in all, I've dropped almost 10 pounds in 4-5 weeks.
Has anyone had success loosing weight after going off Effexor XR? If so, how much, how quickly did you loose? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
