Hi,
I have lost weight on Effexor too. I really have to work hard and consciously think about keeping it on. I've been on 150mg for about 1.5 years. My doctors don't believe that my weight loss is due to the medication, but I've never had this much problem with weight loss. I do have an appetite. I eat about as much as anyone, I think, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm now about 5 lbs underweight.
The thing that's more disturbing to me than the weight loss, though, is that it seems like my physical performance has suffered. Mainly, I get nauseous very suddenly and very easily with strenuous physical exertion. I'll puke with little warning. I never had that problem before.
I hope too that I don't balloon when I come off of it.
