I was told that if anything it would cause weight loss. (ha!)
I've never gained so much weight so quickly.
It scared me, my clothes would get tighter seemingly overnight.
I was only on the drug for maybe two months and I gained about 25 lbs in that time and I was NOT overeating.
Effexor didn't work for me (I'm putting that mildly)
I quit taking it and the weight did come off,
so I know it was the effexor. I think much of it was from water retention.
I really don't know what the answer would be if you need to stay on it and it's causing weight gain, because I know that for some it's not about food consumption.
I really wish I had some more uplifting news for you, and I'm sorry you have a Dr. who still believes everything in the drug package inserts, it's frustrating.
