I was put on
Effexor for Depression 75 mg for 2 1/2 years/It has been fantastic! I am calm, reliable, responsible, almost robotic!!ha!ha!..the perfect Stepford Wife! Except that I have gained 16lbs. It just slowly crept on. I was underweight, (Welbutrin made me lose almost 16lbs, too skinny!) so the first 8 lbs was fine, then slowly drifted up to 140 from 124. May not seem much, but I am disgusted by my fat, wobbly, bulging mid-section, back and bra fat!!
