> I'm just trying to get a general idea here as to whether or not people posting on this website have experienced problems with either fatigue and/or weight gain since they first started taking Effexor/XR.

I took Effexor for about two years and it helped a lot with my depression, but pooped out toward the end. I didn't have a problem with fatigue, but a *little* bit with apathy, maybe, or feeling a little "flat." (I'm having that a little now, too, on Cymbalta. Seems to be a common SE of SSRIs and SNRIs?)

I gained weight while I was on Effexor, BUT that was a COINCIDENCE as I was also taking DEPAKOTE at the same time, and it is known to definitely cause weight gain!

I don't remember having discontinuation or withdrawal problems going off Effexor, but I did switch to another AD at the time.
