In reply to Effexor rapid weight gain., posted by rainyday on February 5, 2004, at 9:58:35
Not so much with Effexor, for me. When I took Effexor, I did gain about 40 pounds all told, but it was gradual.
On other ADs, though, it was a different story altogether! Yes, weight gain from meds is a terrible thing, it's agonizing, and it's real. I don't know what to tell you about it, because I never found a solution to it.
Guess the best I can say is, "Talk to your doctor about the weight gain, and MAKE him/her address the issue."
Good luck, and good wishes.
