I'm new to that stuff, but I have a BIG problem with sugar. My cravings were totaly gone the very next day I started Effexor. But maybe it's only in the beginning. It also made me so sleepy that I wouldn't lose any weight even not eating sugars. I decided to not to get on it (particulary after reading everything that people write about it) and didn't take it today. The sugar craving are back. Too bad.
> Hi! I just went off of Effexor, partially because I was no longer depressed and partially because I had a tremendous weight gain over 2.5 years, accompanied by extreme lethargy. I have started Wellbutrin, which is supposed to have the opposite effect according to my doctor. He tells me that Effexor is known for causing weight gain. My experience is proof enough for me. 75 pounds worth of proof.
