> > > Has anybody lost any of the weight they gained from Effexor XR. I gained about 35lbs over the last 2 1/2 years and am now beginning the journey of losing all of this extra weight. If you have, how long did it take and what did you have to do?? Any encouragement would be wonderful!! Thanks - NMichele
I lost my 35 lbs by going off Effexor and doing a low carb diet. I think that Effexor caused me to crave carbs. I'm back on Effexor at a very low dose augmented with amphetamine. I have adopted low carb as a way of life. I'm hoping the low dose, the amphetamine and the low carb will help me maintain my weight. Good luck! Low carb really works, but for me it took a while to kick in (about 4 weeks with no weight loss). Then I lost the weight in about 5 months.
