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.

Oh my gosh, it never occurred to me that my belly could be from Effexor. I was on it more or less for the last several years until a couple of months ago.
I'm 5ft. 4in. and weigh 117 so I'm not overweight. And yet I have this BELLY. I could wear at least an entire size smaller if it wasn't for the BELLY. I hate it. I've asked my doctor what the deal is - no idea. So maybe now I know. WE'll see over the next few months if it goes away or lessens.Marsha
