Is anyone on effexor?
Does it cause you weight gain?

I'm not on it, but know several people who have been on it. It did cause them weight gain. I'm on zoloft, it seems to curb my appetite a bit, while also really helping my depression and anxiety.

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free.  But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."

A friend of mine was on it and it did cause him to gain some weight (not much though). You also might want to check your triglycerides regularly... his were 3 times above the normal after only a few months.
Take care

I'm on effexor and I haven't had any weight gain, myself.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
