My experience on weight gain on Effexor was that it was related to carb cravings which meant that I ate more. The way that I licked this was to go low carb, which cuts the cravings. By the way, I know that the traditional view is calorie based, but if you really read up on low carb, I think that you will find that there is a fair amount of evidence that weight gain is attributable to sugar and refined carb consumption which causes insulin release which causes weight gain. For years I was low fat, but that did not work for me and then after I did extensive research I switched to low carb. You might want to look into it.
