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..I'm experiencing brain wobbles, fuzzy sounds in my ears,find it hard to sleep, and yesterday uncontrollable crying for no reason, feelings of utter rage, and suicidal thoughts.
