In reply to EFFEXOR.....WEIGHT GAIN or WEIGHT LOSS???, posted by cocohoneynut on March 1, 2004, at 10:38:09
Effexor is one of those drugs that can, apparently, have either effect. My own experience with it is that I did gain some weight over time, but nothing like on Paxil. Over the course of a few years, I gained about -- wait, I was about 30 pounds underweight, so gaining 45 or so put me just above normal for my size. It's not a monster weight gain drug, but some people gain weight on it. I've heard that some people lose weight on it, though.
I think this is a case of "Your mileage will vary."
