weightgain and effexor
weight gain and effexor-i take 450mg a day of effexor,i am always hungry and am gaining weight-would effexor cause this?
Weight loss is actually more common with Effexor than weight gain, but it is possible that the Effexor is part of your problem.

Hi there
Well...it could be the Effexor. I wrote a two part article some time ago which has many responses from people...and one of the medications people really wanted to talk about was Effexor. Some people report huge weight gains. Here is the specific page where you will find that thread. Go to comment #11.
Here is another source which says that it is a possibility to gain weight on this medication but is considered rare.
There are clearly mixed reviews on this. I would definitely talk to your doctor about this...and you can refer to my articles about antidepressants and weight to see suggestions of which ones are not supposed to make you gain weight...Wellbutrin comes to mind at the top of the list.
Hope this helps some...thank you for your question!
