I will be starting effexor tomorrow, and will continue it until i gain that one pound, and i'll stop, paxil gave me enough weight to take off...
so im hoping i'll be the one to lose the weight this time.... any inputs?

Hi tammy,
I wish you all the best with starting Effexor, I take 75mg and it helps a lot. As faras weight gain/loss- when I first started it, I gained a maximum of 7 Lbs. and kept pretty steady from there on out. What did you experience on Paxil? and may I ask why you chnaged to Effexor?
Hope this helps, and please keep me posted:-)

Yes!
I lost 15 lbs (130-->115) on Effexor! All within about a month too. The second time I went on it, I was thinner to start with, but I still lost 5 lbs. Both times I kept the weight off while on it and for MONTHS after going off it.
I was taking 400 mg/day the first time (though I built up to that dose over 6 weeks), and 150 mg the second time.
Good luck!
Btw, I gained 10 lbs on Remeron, a couple pounds (<5) on Prozac and Zoloft, and I had no weight changes from Wellbutrin, Reboxetine, or Tianeptine.
