In reply to February is Effexor month at PBabble, posted by danf on February 4, 2001, at 7:17:04

I am on effexor sr. I was a bit dizzy when I started it, after a week it went away. The only negative thing I would say about effexor is that it made me very tired. I was put on wellbutrin in the morning and that seemed to help. It works well for me. I don't feel like I am on anything, which was not the case when I was on Zoloft. The one thing that is really bothering me is that I see many people have gained weight. I have put on weight without changing my diet, so maybe effexor is the problem. I was told by many doctors that it was one of a few antidepressants that would not cause weight gain. I am pretty upset about this because I really like effexor.I am on 150mg and would like to wean myself off. I do see my doctor once a month and dont really want to wait to see him before I try to lower my dosage. Since I am on capsules it pretty hard not to drop down to 75mg. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can start?

Thanks!!
