> Thanks for the info. Did Effexor XR cause weight gain? I do have low blood pressure but the lightheadedness is triggered by stress/anxiety. I'm trying to find the perfect solution without the sedating/weight gain side-effects. This may be asking too much..... Thanks-
No, I didn't gain any weight on Effexor XR, and have maybe lost a little, though that's not a good thing for me. It's fixed the anxiety, and I've lost weight. Can you think of a better combo?? Ha! Aren't I lucky to be depressed? (OK, I get the "look at the bright side" award...)
I have low blood pressure, too, and so any drug that lists hypotension is right out for me. The Serzone was dreadful! The Effexor has maybe raised it a tad (to about 100/65!), but not to any critical level. {lol}
Good luck.
