You are not imagining things. Effexor can definitely cause weigth gain. I read a post by Dr. Ivan Goldberg somewhere on Dr. Bob's site (I think) that antidepressants can cause your metabolism to slow down by 10-15%. I gained 15 pounds in 4 months, and while I was eating more calories than before, I was also exercising a lot more. At most I should have gained 2-3 pounds. I am in the process of going off Effexor right now. Good luck.
