> I am new hear and have read that many people on Effexor XR have had a significant weight gain. I have been on it for a month and want to know when this happens and what to watch for as I think that would make me worse.
I heard the same. I am on Celexa and have not gained any weight. In the beginning I actually lost 22 pounds. My friend is on Effexor and she has not gained any weight. My opinion is that the weight gain goes together with depression that is not fully taken care of. Chin up and don't think about it. The obvious signs would be I guess taking more meals than needed, looking for a junk food, etc. Drink more tea/herbal and get well. Good luck!
Love, pahole.
