If you stay with Effexor long term, there is a high probability the weight will stabilize, and possibly even start creeping up. The effects you get in the first few days sometimes don't have much to do with what happens down the road.
I took if for a year and a half. The first few weeks I was elated because there seemed to be no appetite increase etc. After a year and a half, I had gained as much weight as with any other drug and my appetite was never voracious.
Some people claim they lose weight or stay the same on it. I believe this is either amazing self-control, or people reporting effects in the short term. I've been wrong before.
