I have been on effexor for about 6 months now and I love the way it makes me feel. After my second child I we diagnosed with PPD I have been on paxil, lexapro, zoloft,and now finally effexor I have gained 40 pounds on it. I am not a lazy person by any means I am an animal trainer, have 3 kids, and 110 acre farm, so I live a very busy life, I have considered going off it, but my withdrawal periods with my other medications, I went through hell my doctor tells me to just increase my cardio activities, his nurses believe otherwise. Anyone have any ideas?

I have been on Effexor for 8 yrs. I get very very sick if dosage is adjusted down by my doctor.This stuff is a mind controlling monster and the side effects will increase over the years.I am so dependent on this drug I can't imagine ever to stop taking it. The weight will stay on, the depression will creep back and exhaustion will over take your body Get off Effexor as soon as you can. It will consume your beeing. Stay Safe
