Hi Julie,
I'm also taking Effexor and I feel like I want to eat constantly, especially carbs. I've gained
weight even though I exercise regularly. I'm very frustrated with this. I'm also
experiencing extreme fatigue and sleepiness. It makes exercising very hard.I was taking Prozac with it, but I switched to an alternative 5-HTP. It's suppose to curb appetite.
I've also read that adding Ritalin to antidepressants can increase energy and decrease appetite.
I haven't tried it yet because my doc is skeptical and wants more info on it.
Let me know if you find something that works for you.Thanks and good luck,
Ania
