It creeps up on you, especially if the med is changing the way you feel and your physical activity level.

I gained 20 lbs on effexor over 3 months before I even realized it. Damn was it hard to get off, too.

I'm a guy that's pretty skinny and used to run a lot.

Unless you weigh 75lbs, I don't think a change of 2-3lbs would even be noticeable. Heck, I think some of the massive dumps I take weigh at least 3 lbs.
