Hi everybody,

I have been on effexor for 6mo. at a high dose of it, 450mg per day and have been experiencing wt. gain. I have done research, but no answer.

Question is, will going down on the dosage, will I LOSE weight? I have lowered the dosage to 300mg, and don´t know when or if I can have weight loss. I have read that effexor causes wt loss, and higher dose is weight gain.

Will it do the same for me at decreasing from higher to more normal dose?

I want to lose weight, as my weight continues to rise.

Help!!!

Thanks,
nirmal
