Hi..... I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in. I'm on 150mg of effexor xr... for about 7 and half weeks... so I don't know if this time frame really judges what you are talking about. Little backround.... all through high school and college I was very overweight. I was a size 13.. which might not be big to some.... but coming from a very thin family was HUGE. I made it a goal... I even switched my academic curriculum to fitness and nutrition. I lost the weight slowly and effectively.. very good exercise plan and diet. I actually was a fitness trainer for a little while... but wasn't my can of worms. Anyway, I have been a size 3 for about 10 years.. never changing... never dieting... just came accustomed to the food I trained on... and they were always the foods I craved after that. Back to the point.. I have had these recent carb cravings... snack cravings..... a lot since taking the drug... but to me... I was brought up with the "will power" thing. When I start craving things I load up on a TON of water and a nutri-grain bar.... it takes care of my cravings anyway. Water is a big key in decreasing hunger. I have to be careful tho.... besides those cravings I don't have much of an appetite and have to remind myself to eat. I don't want to gain weight.. but I don't want to loose either. Good luck to you all... and if I start gaining weight I'll post about it... then that will really show it's the AD. :-)
