> i have a question... my neice is takeing effexor.. not sure the mg??? anyways she seems to have gained alot of weight since she's started takeing this.... is this a common se???? thanks elizabeth
I was on it for about 8 months. and i gained about 12-15 pounds. i was also a freshman in college so i dont know if i can attribute it all to effexor. I do think I gained some due to the drug though. i know this isnt scientific, but hope its helps. she can talk to her doctor if she is worried about it and i know that some meds wont affect weight as much. Ive also heard of some people taking half the dose for two different meds at the same time.
