Hi I am a newie< my name is Lynne from Australia.
Have had FM for 10 years. been on Paxil? for 2 years and due to loss of sexual libidio GP put me on Effexor_xr 75 mgs. and god have I been sick. gp DID NOT tell me about side effects getting started!! so I feel really cheated. I get enough pain from FM without getting more from this drug.
SO just starting to get over a month of hell for this is and now discover that this drug can give you weight gain. This is the worst news as I was lapbanded in December last year for obesity. so far I have lost 14 kgs and no way do I want to put it on again. Again I am so angry with my GP for not knowing this and prescribing this drug for me. Now i will have to go through horrendous withdrawel to get off. Getting off Paxil was hell, makes me think that effexor will be much worse. Its not fair!!!!
