Hi. When I took Effexor, it made me crave fattening foods and I started to put on weight. I tried taking prescription diet pills to help me kick the urge to eat so much and give me energy. I would feel ok for 3 days and then my depression would really hit me hard and I would feel awful. I tried the over the counter stuff too, like Stakers, ect and got the same effect. I asked my doctor that had prescribed me the Effexor about it and she told me not to take any of these, that they would counter effect the antidepressant. I also asked my pharmasist and he told me the same thing. He told me to stay away from these while on the AD. Good luck. Maybe someone else could explain on this or tell you something more than I have, but this is what I was told and what I have experienced.
