Stopped the meds, was prescribed a fairly strong diuretic, and lost it all in 3 days. My Dr. said he had nevr had another patient react that way to that drug. Go figure.I took Serzone for a few months, at a max. dose of 450 mg/day. I LOST weight (about 6 lbs). The AD I gained weight on were Prozac, Luvox, and Zoloft (esp. Zoloft). I'm losing weight again on Effexor. Guess everybody's different. Effexor does seem to give me some stomach distress but nothing I can't live with.--Cindy W
