Hi, I am new to the group and I have a couple of questions about Effexor before I start taking it. I am very worried about the possibility of gaining weight like I have on other meds (Zoloft and Prozac). I have been off of all my meds altogether for 6 months but the depression is destroying me and the Panic Attacks are daily. I thought that I could handle them with other alternatives, until last week. I found myself in the Emergency Room having the worst attack ever. I have just began to lose the weight from Prozac and rebuild my self-esteem, I am just not clear whether to start another med or not and I don't know enough about Effexor. Has this happened to anyone else? How well has Effexor worked for depression and anxiety? I would appreciate any thoughts or opinions. Thanks!
