Emma,
How long did it take for you to start gaining on Effexor? I have been on it for a little over a month now.
Thanks


> I lost weight in the beginning too. I thought I would be one of the lucky ones too. I haven't changed eating habits and I exercise regularly too. Unfortunately, I've gained. I currently contemplating weaning myself off. Weight gain is depressing in itself.
