Weight Gain

Posted by ralph S. on February 23, 2001, at 21:15:54

I am now 3 weeks off of Effexor XR 150 mgs. I cannot begin to tell anyone of the hell I went through trying to get off of this drug. I truly think I would rather live with the depression that I experienced before going on this medication than have to live with the withdrawal effects. I have also gained 20 pounds. I was only on the meds for 6 months but gained the weight in about 3-4 months. I have never experienced a problem with weight. I used to be able to run 5 miles a day and stayed a consistant 120 pounds. I am now at 140 and am more depressed because of this weight gain. Please someone tell me I can lose this weight. I cannot seem to get motivated after the withdrawal and am depressed about my weight. Did anyone else experience weight gain and did you lose it?

Thanks for the help,

Ralph S.
