In reply to Effexor and weight gain?, posted by Racer on September 10, 2004, at 20:01:58
> I'm just curious about this, since SSRIs cause weight gain and norepinephrine is also involved in feeding and weight. I haven't seen weight gain mentioned with Effexor, but I distrust that.

>Hi Racer,
I have gained no weight on Effexor alone or combined with Remeron. Prozac was one that upset things for me. It did bad thing to my thyroid levels.
Cheers,
