Thank you for following up. This site has been such a breakthrough for me. What I find so discouaging is the fact that doctors do not realize the withdrawl factor with this drug. I went in for my yearly exam last week and explained to my doctor that I wanted off the Effexor and wanted to switch to Wellbuterin because of labido, weight gain and withdrawls. I was hoping that the Wellbuterin would help with some of this. Anyway, he said to wean myself off by taking one then skip and day and so on. WHAT!!!! Ok, well what am I to do about the day that I don't take one? He just could not grasp the concept that missing one dose could make me feel this way. Anyway, I ended up telling him about the Prozac theory and he went with it. Thank Goodness. Now I don't know if I even want to take the Wellbuterin. I started taking the Effexor about two years ago due to a Mild depression brought on by a certain incident but into the treatment realized Hey, I do feel better and just continued. I have gained alot of weight and lost my sex drive. I am 29 years old and married and this is not what I need to happen. Anyway, thanks for listening. One more question if I may. Anyone know how long it takes for the weight to start going away? Or will it?
