Hey just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this drug...both good and bad.

Has anyone lost weight while on Effexor? I know ppl will say they've gained but frankly just wondering if anyone has seen it NOT affect their weightloss efforts.

Just started and I want some well-rounded reviews :)

Much thanks,
Char

    Hated it.
    can't remember about weight issues but it's horrible unless you take it at exactly the same time each day/
    I got brain 'zaps' and nasty side effects.
    It's also difficult to stop as tapering it off means you get the zaps agaiN!

    I hope it helps you!!

    Opted not to fill prescription. Everything in me was telling me not to get it so I didn't and I won't. Back to the drawing board.

    It was terrible for me but they always find something.
