In reply to N-E Know anything about Aorexia after Effexor??, posted by Juliette on October 25, 1999, at 18:19:33
> I am a 17 year old girl taking Effexor for Trichotillomania. One of the side effects of effexor is Anorexia. I am very concerned about this, since i have been known to diet and excersise irrationally. If anyone has any information on this, please let me know.. Thank You
dj, I stopped effexor prematurely for this very reason. But I should have stuck it out starting with half doses. This side effect is supposed to go away in 3 weeks according to my pdoc. I think I goofed and stopped too soon. Try to ride it out if you can. AFter the body adjusts a lot of people actually have weight gain instead.
