I'm on Effexor XR (EXR) but I gained the 30 lbs before I started it. I lost 7 lbs the first I took EXR but I gained it since. I did not gain more though. I really took the 30 lbs when I started taking the pill. I also moved and started a new job at the time, so the pill may not be the culprit.
I need to lose weight now since I'm almost 35 and yes, my metabolism is approaching that of a hippo. :-)
shar: the edema started when I gained the 30 lbs and started taking BCP. Not sure if the weight or the pill is to blame. In any case, I need to lose the weight, so... I started really checking what I eat this week. And I eat less too.
Good for you, beardedlady, those green shoes sound lovely!- sid
