I agree with you that each person needs to find a medication that works for them. Luckily, I no longer have a need for an anti-depressant, but I was on Effexor XR for roughly 4 months during 2006. The weight gain that I experienced during that time and the relationship with food it fostered were the root of my weight gain. I went from 5'6" and 115-125 to 5'8" and 185-205 in the last 4 years. It was not until recently with alot of concerted effort beforehand that I was able to confront my weight gain and deal with it in a way that empowered me to lose the weight and embrace my body as it is now. I am so glad to be done with the whole ordeal.
