I think that "banga" is right. It's got to be at least partly water weight at this stage. I'm pretty sure that Effexor can cause weight gain but that usually happens several months later. I didn't stay on Effexor long enough to experience that, but I did get a large belly with some other AD's long before true weight gain started. I'm uncertain what cause the bloated belly. I think it's partly water retention and perhaps a lack of tone in the abdominal muscles as well. What I mean is, I think some of the AD's may do something to the muscles in that region that causes them to lose their tone or tightness almost immediately.
