I was on Effexor for a long time, and for me, it was great. It alleiviated my major depression and I was able to concentrate, go to school, deal with things better AND......
I only gained 6 LBS. Effexor isn't in the so-called class of SSRI's like Prozac, Zoploft, Paxil, etc. It works on 3 neurotransmitters, and for me, I needed that.
Remember, we all react so differently to these meds, but I wish you the best~maybe it will *work* for you...
Kristen> If there is an ad that doesn't cause weight gain I will be delighted, but if there is one that really alleviates the depression and doesn't cause weight gain, I shall jump through hoops with my cat!!
