Hi I am new here, I have been on 75mg per day of Effexor-XR for 1 week now, and I take it before dinner everynight. I have only had 2 side affects sleepyness and I am always hungry. I am very WORRIED about putting on weight, i am on the pill YASMIN becuase of weight gain on all the other kinds, and now I have only been hearing about people putting on weight on Effexor-XR, only a few have lost. I am not big, I weigh 120lbs (60Kg's) and I have always been constantly up and down with my weight, I am VERY paranoid about putting on weight and also becoming anorexic. I look in the mirror and i do see FAT, that is what worries me. On the genes side all my family is thin, i am a spitting image of my mom and she is thinner than me. So why am i worried??
I am on Effexor because of Anxiety, and a touch of depression. I am a HUGE worry pot as you can tell. and i really do need some help in regards to success stories.
Does anyone know the exact answer to why so many people have put on weight since they have started Effexor-XR or is it just a lifestyle thing or other things?
im a bit confused
THANKS A MILL :)
