In reply to Weight loss after Effexor?, posted by Shannon17 on May 4, 2005, at 20:50:09
Hi Shannon,
My doctor told me that the weight will eventually come off once I'm off the medication that caused the weigh gain in the first place. I'm up about 20 or so pounds. It's like I opened my eyes one morning and there it was! My clothes don't fit me anymore. It seemed to have happened so fast. Anyway, I joined weight watchers last week and lost my first 3.8 pounds. So I am on my way (I hope). I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. I know it will be hard work to lose it but I don't want any memories or traces of my having been on Effexor. This particular side effect might take a while to remedy but I am relly determined. Good luck to you and check out weight watchers. It is pretty good. Not like a deprive yourself diet at all! Really do-able.
