>effexor--would a lower dose work just as well?
Maybe, maybe not. You could try going down to 112.5mg/day for a few weeks then 75mg/day if all goes well. 75mg is often sufficient for GAD. In fact, clinical trials suggested no advantage of higher doses.
Unfortunately, as Racer said, the weight gain might not be dose-dependent.
