I take Effexor XR, at 150, and have so far had little luck losing the 30 pounds I gained on Zoloft (which I took for many years before I switched to Effexor). I work out, vigorously and often, and try to eat sensibly; I feel fit, but still look chunky, no matter what I do. (I had food poisoning a few weeks ago and couldn't keep anything down for 2 days. I GAINED weight!) This bothers me a lot. But I plan to continue taking Effexor in spite of this... it quickly stopped a bad depression, I feel like a normal human being on it, and the only other bothersome side effect is some insomnia. (A little Trazodone before bed takes care of this.) Being depression-free is worth 30 pounds to me...
