Hey all,
I'm Sara and I ave been on Effexor for about a year and couple of years now. In July last year I weighed bout 60kg and now I weigh 100kg..... Crazy.
Doseage has been 112.5mg then I tried to withdraw with dr advice however I felt depressed so am now back up to the same dosage again.
I was put on Effexor for an eating disorder where in jan 2010 I got down to 48kg by restricting and over exercising. I then started eating after the birth of my second child and taking the antidepressants. The Effexor had the most impact on m y weight, So from being small to now huge I'm finding it hard to focus on which way to lose weight. I did ww to lose the weight and at first it worked, I ate up to my pp and lost 30kg the right way however I started restricting and when I think. About losing weight again I think ww but bad memories creep in.
Not only the weight gain but I also now have very tight Achilles and find it hard to exercise.
I don't know where to start, so can someone help me find motivation? I will be on Effexor for a while I think.
Thank you for reading my novel
