I'm not sure if it's just my lifestyle or how this drug affected my eating or just the drug that affects my weight and metabolism. I am pretty sure it's a combination.
Hey Alicia.I started effexor xr back in May 2011 and by August 2011 I had lost 28lbs. It totally put my binge eating demon to sleep,it was a WONDERFUL time for me.
But I think it depends on the individual.since everyone is different,people react differently to the meds.I guess to because I eat when I'm depressed and the effexor made me happy,I just stopped eating alot. plus I was working out 4 times a week too.
I'm off of it now cause it stopped working 3months after I'd taken it
So I've gained back the 28+6 more lbs
