Effexor and weight gain?

Posted by Racer on September 10, 2004, at 20:01:58

I'm just curious about this, since SSRIs cause weight gain and norepinephrine is also involved in feeding and weight. I haven't seen weight gain mentioned with Effexor, but I distrust that.
When I was taking Effexor, it was augmented by 10mg of Prozac. I did gain about 50 pounds, but it could have been either drug, or the combination. Can anyone who's been on Effexor all by itself tell me if it caused weight gain?
(This is not because I'm considering Effexor again, by the way. Just wondering about Cymbalta.)
Thanks!
