> Has anyone had success losing weight AFTER going off of Effexor XR? As a whole, Effexor XR worked for me. My depression is gone. I've gained weight, and lost my desire for sex, along with other side effects. This made me decide it was time to quit. I'm on day 2 with no Effexor - and I'm doing OK I guess. Aside from the dizziness, occassional nausea, hot/cold chills, it hasn't been nearly as bad as I feared. I'm just looking for hope that this weight will go away as quickly as it came.
I WISH YOU BETTER LUCK ON GETTING OFF EFFEXOR THAN WHAT I'M HAVING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SICK IN MY LIFE.I,VE BEEN WEANING MYSELF OFF NOW FOR TWO WEEKS AND HAVENT TAKEN ANY FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS. I HAVE MISSED THE LAST 2 DAYS OF WORK BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE AND ALMOST UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING.I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THESE EFFECTS BACK WHEN I STARTED TAKING IT ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO,MY DOCTOR DID NOT TELL ME ANYTHING.I WOULD LIKE TO FORCE FEED HIM THIS MEDICINE FOR 4 YEARS AND THEN QUIT, SO HE COULD FEEL THE EFFECTS. I BET HE WOULD NEVER PRESCRIBE IT TO ANYONE AGAIN
