> > I am a 17 year old girl taking Effexor for Trichotillomania. One of the side effects of effexor is Anorexia. I am very concerned about this, since i have been known to diet and excersise irrationally. If anyone has any information on this, please let me know.. Thank You

Hi Juliette,

I have/had both Trichotillomania and anorexia, and have been on Effexor.

Everyone's experience with medications is different. Effexor didn't decrease my hunger cues because at the time I was on it, I didn't have any hunger cues. I didn't lose weight on it either. Jamie said it only affected his appetite for 3 weeks.

It sounds like you are still very vunerable to the psychological aspects of anorexia. Inform your doctor of this. All the different disorders interact with one another, and sometimes it's hard to figure out where one starts and the other ends. Janice.
