How much weight have you gained?
If it is not significant, try to add exercise and
cutting out bread, pasta and sugar.

First of all, angel1, if it were this easy, it wouldn't be an issue. Those of us who have gained weight from medications don't appreciate this comment, which comes out as flippant.

Geraldo,
Yes, Effexor has caused weight gain and NO dieting and exercise don't help. There are a number of threads on the board about this. Jay just started a good one about weight gain from AD medication.

Go back a week or two and you're bound to see a thread about Effexor and weight gain.

I hope that helps,

girlie
