I am new to Effexor XL. I was currently on Wellbutin SR but I had weight gain, hunger and mostly migraines. I was changed over to Effexor last week. The first couple days I felt drugged, lethargic and depressed. After about 6 days I am feeling much better. Sleeping better too, I take the Effexor is in am so I don't have insomnia. I did notice some water retention in my face but I am not as hunger as I was on Wellbutin and hopefully will lose the 15 pounds I gained. I was put on Wellbutin when my parents were tragically killed in a house gas well explosion. Will the side effect go away as time goes on. I am on 37.5mg and feeling uplighted and not depressed anymore. It did take 6 long, hard days as I felt tired too. Any comments??? please
