thanks, I hear ya. I haven't exercised in a while, but my diet has been pretty good (salmon, brown rice, fruit, water, salads, etc.) When I started the Effexor about 2 weeks ago, the past few days my appetite has soared. I'm an ice cream-aholic. I'm just hoping the Effexor doesn't cause me to gain back the 25 I lost when starting Topamax 2 months ago. As you know, weight issues are a huge concern with these meds-it's all over this forum, I appreciate your reply. What are you doing eating too much pizza ;) (joke) just trying to make you smile-that's all.
Thanks again
Take care
