In reply to just starting effexor, wondering about side effect, posted by juliat on March 19, 2003, at 17:15:39
Hi juliat, I am on Effexor-XR and love it. It hasn't made me gain much weight, if any, at the most 7-9 Lbs. It works well for some. May I ask what your dosage is of Effexor? and how long you have been on it? Do you have a diagnosis besides depression? I have also been on Prozac-that helped my depression, but almost too much and I gained a whopping 60 Lbs:-( I had great success on Celexa, but at the moment I am only on Effexor, Klonopin, Lamictal, and Seroquel.
Let me know if I can help you.
All the best, Kristen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi, this is my third attempt with anti-depressants, celexa turned me into a walking zombie all day, and prozac makes me have uncontrollable breakdowns. so i started effexor, but i'm wondering about the side effects. i heard it can decrease your appetite (which i would LOVE) but i don't know what to expect or anything. also, i'm just looking for some support in this...
