i did put on a couple of kg's on effexor- nothing dramatic- but i was on 300mg and i binged and did no exercise. but then the weight didnt go up anymore instead it stabalized at the new weight.i found that a decent diet and execise program helped take off the kg's once i was feeling better. ofcourse on meds you have to work that extra bit harder but it is possible. i guess if you start by watching what you eat now and do some exercise you can avoid any weight gain whatsoever.
also i know of many people who lose weight on effexor. i'm on 75mg now and have noticed no increase even though i have awful lifestyle habits.
so maybe you need not worry at all.
for me i think weight gain was caused by the fact that i have been on so many different drugs that slow down your metabolism (like antipsychotics)- so by the time i started effexor i was already at a disadvantage
well sorry to ramble- but i too am a bit paranoid about weight
i hope u r fine on effexor- it really helped me
