I can only speak from my brothers experience. He is on pristiq and has managed to lose weight. He exercises and was a pretty big guy to begin with. I don't recall him saying that pristiq caused him to gain weight. Try to keep it in perspective though. If the med is working for you mentally then doing a bit of work in the gym will be no problem. I wish I had a med that would get me out of the house. I hope things go well for you.Jesse
