I have been on effexor for four months now, In that time ive gained 6 kgs, feel bloated
and full all the time,
and have NO sex drive at all. I spoke to my doctor about this,
and she assured me the weight gain has nothing to do with effexor, she made feel like it was all in my head. I decided to take myself off the medicine, i halved my dosage for a week, then stopped it all together, i have gone back on prozac which is what i was taking before effexor..
