Re: Refuse to take Effexor!

For me, Prozac causes me to lose weight consistently (due to hunger suppression). Effexor caused me to lose weight for the first few months and then gain a few pounds after being on it for a year and a half. Prozac definitely suppresses my appetite and doesn't interfere with weight loss activities like exercise, more so than any other antidepressant I've taken (especially when comparing the SSRI's).

Wellbutrin didn't increase my appetite, but it made me very nervous, shaky, filled with anxiety and didn't alleviate my depression in any manner. However, I was only able to take it for 2-3 months before going off due to these effects--and/or lack of positive effects.

Best of Luck!
