I have been on Paxil for several years, and the only side effect was lack of sexual desire. Just recently my Dr. suggested I try Effexor because of increased stress, and also for hot flashes. I weaned off the Paxil onto the Effexor, and really don't feel any different except for extreme sweats. It seems to make the hot flashes worse. I am concerned about weight gain, and didn't experience that with Paxil. After reading all the posts, I am thinking that I should not continue with the Effexor. I have been on it for two weeks. I am very concerned a about the side effects, mainly the weight gain, and also the withdrawls. I wonder if anyone has had good results, and what do you all think about my switching from Paxil to Effexor.
