I was taking 225mgs for 6mths gained 24lbs!
Now I am taking 37.5mgs a day and the odd 75mgs when I feel I really need it. I eat very little (although well balanced)and I excersise to..I have not even lost an ozs let alone a lb! I am doing quite well on the effexor xr for my major depression and I really do not want to give it up completely. I have been off work for the last 6mths and I am only now thinking about returning in the near future..BUT THIS WEIGHT IS MAKING ME DEPRESSED AGAIN...HELP!
