i should also mention that at 75mg of effexor, chances are, it is just acting as an SSRI, and may be no different from the lexapro in terms of the weight gain effects you experience. (so if you stay at this dose, its possible the switch was poinless.) as you go higher, to like 225mg or over (*possibly* also 150mg) the norepinephrine reuptake blocking effect starts to kick in, which would presumably help ward off weight gain, and help with actual weight loss.
