Wow, so glad you did dig that up Nick! I just stumbled on this site for the first time today and had to register so I could respond once I read your post and the earlier ones.
I've been on Effexor for 2 years after previously trying Lexapro for a year. I've gained about 70 lbs on Effexor. My stomach is huge! So glad to hear it's not just me!!! Thank you!! I've struggled w/ various eating issues along w/ depression, so I kept thinking that my eating must be worse than I'm thinking. I'm getting off ASAP!

Never realized it could be the effexor untill I read your post. It made me fall out of my chair and all, good thing my big belly broke the fall.
