Thanks. I gained a lot of weight on Paxil as well which seemed to just disappear after I quit taking it. (That was several years before Effexor.) So I am particularly upset about this Effexor problem. I do think I have some kind of endocrine imbalance because I also have horrible insomnia. I also just found out that too much cortisol can also cause these problems and adrenal gland problems/high cortisol run in my family. (I am the only one who has these particular symptoms, though. Everyone else w/adrenal problems have high blood pressure.) My uncle (father's identical twin) was the worst-- he had a tumor on his adrenal gland and had to have it removed. So I am going to ask my doctor to do both these tests.
