I'm sorry you are having problems with weight gain. I know the feeling. I do have some questions, though.

Are you sure it is the effexor causing the weight gain? An increase in appetite and weight gain can be caused by depression itself, if it is not adequately treated. Are you still having other symptoms of depression?

What dose of Effexor are you on? At 150-225mg/day Effexor can be actually pretty stimulating and I find it surprising your appetite is going up on this particular drug -- of course, it is not impossible.

I think the most important question is: is this from your depression?
