Effexor is evil
Just to put effexor's side effects into perspective in yet another way....
From January 2003 to May 2004 (while on effexor) I gained 20 lbs.
Since quitting effexor in July (without changing my diet or exercise at all) I have lost 15 of those pounds.
Hooray for my metabolism getting back to normal!!

Good for you! The same thing happened to me with Paxil. I am now on effexor and not having the weight issues as much, but I would rather be on it and have a harder time losing weight than have depression again!

Ya...I had other issues besides the weight gain with effexor, like horrible nightmares and not being able to wake up in the mornings sometimes. The other reasons are why I stopped using it, but losing weight is a nice plus!
