Hi Sarah,
To answer your question, at this time I'm taking
37.5mg per day. Two weeks ago, my doctor suggested
I increase to 75mg per day but I haven't done so
yet, only because I'm afraid to experience side
effects.
As for exercising, I can't say that I have been,
although I do have a three and a half year old and
a ten month old so maybe running around after them
all day long might be considered exercising! Haha
During the four weeks that I have been on Effexor XR,
I have lost quite a bit of weight but I just noticed
in the last few days that my appetite has increased,
hopefully that doesn't mean I'll be gaining the
weight back. I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers
crossed, in hopes that the drug helps me recover in full
so I can be my normal self again, and not gain 50 lbs!I wish you the best of luck,
MaKi
