> Since starting 4 mths ago(for depression) and maintaining dose of 75mg per day,the lbs are piling on!I've decreased my dosage to less than 35mg a day,2 wks ago.No side effects yet,only dizzy when a dose was missed.Is it gonna get tougher,or am I on the path to being done??
sycochick, is your eating related to your depression? For me, I eat more when I feel lonely and down. Perhaps you should talk with your pdoc about increasing the Effexor or changing to another AD. I lost about 25 lbs on Effexor, but have slowly regained some of it, since I eat more when it's COLD and I feel lonely.--Cindy W
