In reply to More weight gain on Effexor or SSRI's??, posted by KRM123 on March 29, 2003, at 19:47:10
I lost weight on Effexor. I am naturally thin but I did lose a significant amount on it -- but it wasn't unhealthy or anything. I was on an average dose of 300 mg for about 5 months...and I was eating lots and exercising lots as is my normal routine on and off AD's. I also took Effexor a second time for about 2 months and lost weight then also.
I haven't taken any other meds that I lost weight on...
Gained insignificant amounts on prozac and zoloft, gained a whole lot on Remeron (god it was awful).
Didn't gain or lose at all on reboxetine or wellbutrin.
Good luck with the Effexor....I found it to be a great med.
