Effexor
I have been on Effexor for about 5 years now. Over this time I have gained about 20 pounds - which is a lot for my small frame. I'd always been very thin. I've also been having a real lack of sex drive for the past year or two, which has gotten even worse over the past 6-9 months.
I decided to go off the Effexor about 2 weeks ago when my prescription had run out and I was already into slight withdrawal(the withdrawal symptoms have since stopped except for slight depression and weepiness). My husband and I are trying to have a baby, so I know I'd have to go off as soon as I concieve anyway, so it seemed worth trying to go without it.
My question is: Can I expect my weight to start going back down now that I am off the medication (as long as I don't eat more or exercise less than while I was on it, of course)? And will my sex drive improve? How quickly should I see improvement in these areas?
Thanks...

yes to both, sex and weight, assuming you feel your life is moving well on course...all of this should start happening within a few weeks....
I've been on Effexor for about 6 months now, and I've been able to lose weight, as well as gain weight. I was very concerned about taking it because I did not want to gain any more weight (I'm about 16 lbs overweight). My doctor told me that Effexor is the one drug that does not make you gain weight. In fact, she told me it's an appetite supressor. I've been able to lose weight. But I don't have a sex drive, either. And like I said, I've only been on it for 6 months, so I'm not sure if that would make a difference since you've been on it much longer. Good luck!
I didn't notice any problems at first either with the weight (like for the first year or two). I think it was maybe only a few pounds a year, so it wasn't that noticable then. I also was told by my doctor that this was one of the medications not likely to make you gain weight, but.....
I had mentioned that the withdrawal symptoms were gone except a slight depression and weepiness. Well the physical symptoms are gone, but the depression and weepiness has been really bad this weekend. My mom passed away this summer and I know I still have not dealt with all he pain of that. I don't know if it's the holidays coming (this will be the first time my mom is not a big part of them), or going off the medication, or both, but this weekend I've probably cried at least 10 times. I'm not sure if I should try to tough it out and hope it gets better on its own, or if I need to go back on the medicine.

I would NEVER ever recommend Effexor of any dose. The withdrawal from Effexor is way worse than anything I've experienced. Even when you want to stop the Effexor, you continue to take it to stop the brain zaps, the eye rolling, the nauseau, the diarreha, it is an awful evil drug. Why they say it's not addictive when it is so hard to get off of it is a mystery to me.
I am so sorry you're going through this. I have not had to experience the pain of losing a parent yet, and God willing, it won't be fore a long, long time. I'm no doctor, but I would say that the depression/weepiness is most likely more because of the fact that you're missing your mom. And you're right, the holidays are what is making it worse. I would talk to your doctor, and see what she says about it. With the pain of losing your mom, I'm not at all surprised that you'd be extra weepy. Good luck with everything, and good luck trying to get pregnant. I hope all goes well for you, and if you need to talk, you know where to find support!
I also was on effexor for a while, and trying to come off of it was terrible, it took me two months to slowly taper off of it. I had a lot of headaches and pain behind the eyeballs...also I swear my memory was affected.
i was on it for two weeks and had to stop because it made me a zombie
Hi Detcharlielucy,
I'm really sorry to hear about the death of your mom. I too am grieving the loss of mine who died in August.
I've been taking Effexor since my love died of prostate cancer five years ago. I'd been taking care of my mom in home for 7 of the 10 years she endured a rare neuro-degerative disease. At the moment I'm making baby steps at putting a life back together. Enough about me.
Mom's Are Eternal. I should think that now you are not taking Effexor that you are experiencing symptoms of grief that may have been masked by the medication. Grief is pain. Grief is legitimate suffering, as is illness, death and birth. Be kind to yourself.
Just a thought, do you have access to a bereavement support group in your community? I've been seeing a grief counselor who has helped me more than I could have imagined.
I'll begin tapering off the Effexor after the holidays. My dose is pretty high. I'm not looking forward to the "brain shivers." However, I have never liked the 'feel' of the med.
FYI, no weight gain on this end.
And Mom's are eternal,
Go forth!
Katie

hey everyone,
I have a good tip to get through the withdrawal pains of effexor. First off I have been on effexor for 1 1/2 years. At first it was great and only up until this fall it was starting to be clear to me that it was not helping with my depression anymore. I was told by my doc never to go cold turkey with this med that I was to tapper it. I was told if I went off cold turkey I was risking brain siezures. I am tappering off now from 75mg a day to 37.5 a day and then 37.5 everyother day then I will be off.
My tip for getting rid of the body pains, brain shivers, nausea,
anxiety and flu like symptoms is a tincture of flower essence.
you can buy this at any natural food store. 10 drops or whatever the given dose is 4 times a day has helped.
Also for women any strong tea for menstuel cramps such as rosehips and hibiscus, chamomile tea is great. Valarian root can be added to your tea at bedtime to help you sleep or you can buy it already made. It is good to go to a store that has bulk herbs and also get a detox tea for after you get off effexor to help clean it out of your body.
I hope that some of you find these items to help yo uas much as they have helped me.
always consult with your doctor before you take homeopathic medications to make sure as well that you have no allergies to these items.

I have stumbled on this site by accident while looking for something else for someone else. I came across the effexor threads and decided to read all the info from those who have shared.
I am 53 years old and have been on effexor for years. I feel it is not working anymore and have tried to quit several times without luck. I tried the weaning thing and it didn't work for me either. I consoled my health provider and she simply said I may be on it the rest of my life. I think this to be very true for me because If I miss one dose of effexor I will go into withdrawls within an hour.
I won't comment on the side effects or the symptoms of withdrawls from effexor because it has all been said in this forum. The only comment that puzzled me was about the withdrawl symptom of the person who described a "zipping" sensation in his brain. I have experienced this before on L-Tryptamine. I was taking this while going through another phase of my life. Drug companies eventually took it off the market.
The "zipping" was a strange feeling. Very Scary. It is hard to describe. Most un-natural.
Anyway, my point to this post is to thank those who have shared all the emotional and physical experiences of this drug called effexor. At least when I go down I will have company.
Gotta go post some more health related issues on other forums :)

I am just wondering how long it is until the brain zaps go away. I really liked the effexor xr but I have lost my insurance and can no longer afford it, so I have begun the weening process, and boy does it suck
Im 23 years old and i have suffered from depression since i was 16 my first anti-depressant was zoloft, witch made me feel very sick, then I was put on paxil witch also made me sick.. however being a teenager and going through what I as a teenager went through i didnt last too long on either.. i would refuse to take the meds...on a brutal episode of mother and daughter arguments i decided to leave home. where was living after i have moved out was my cousins house.. however after being there and being away from all the **** that i had gone through living at home i found myself slipping in a more extream and uneasy depression i was contantly crying, constantly saying how i did not want to live anymore... sad to say but it was somebody across the world who i talked(about everything) to over yahoo. and it was him to presure me to call the doctor.. so i did. the first few visits where awfull tears and snot. and hurtfull thoughts and feeling toward anyone who was breathing to thinking once again about distroying my life...it got easier after a while<- going to the doctors...i was put back on paxil becasue my doctot felt as if i wasent on it long enough to have any effect time went on it made me sick but i continued to take it.... soon after i quit school moved out of the appartment and moved back home with my parents.... from there I started to have terrible panic attacks, anxiety attacks horrable i wouldnt get on a bus by myself go anywhere by myself... i noticed i had a routine that if the routine got interrupted or i got short of time i got really frustrated and irrate..(ex wash hair twice -condition once, leave conditioner in till befor the second body wash.. wash body once rise condtioner out wash body again.) i constantly wash my hand. and i am sickened by body fluid from anyother person on my body or on my clothing.. (obsessive compulsive). since i have been home with my parents i have become. so anti social, i never go anywhere i hardly ever leave my room (agrophobic) i have had medical books taken from my hands cuz i convince myself i have a fatel illness.... i take effexor since october 2004... in the beinging it was all well i didnt go anywhere but i felt a lil better.. it didnt let me cry. i would feel it in my nose and then it would stop.. my dose went from 37.5 to 75 daily. with 75 i found myself still depressed wanting to gain knowledge of lots of things mental and phisical. dose was upped too 150 and here i am, i still dont leave the house, im still depressed, i have tried to commit suicide once (failed) i get unexplained bruses and i find that i pinch myself in my sleep to a point where i bruse in certain areas (lower stomach, innner groin, and inner arms,) there are time i find myself talking to noone but myself. i write poems and i read books...
WELL IM RELEAVED IM IN THE SAME BOAT.THIS IS MY THIRD DAY OFF OF THIS Fn DRUG . I AM GOING TO PUT A SIGN ON THE BACK OF MY CAR . AND PARK AT THE DOCS OFFICE.MAYBE BECOME A ACTIVIST FOR A EFFEXOR FREE AMERICA. I THINK I CAN DEAL WITH A FEW PANIC Attacks i already feel better can tell you that this is pure hell. I'm not a small man. but I'm not stronger than this effexor right now. i had to stop because i lost my insurance . and it gave me high blood pressure. and my kidneys were in pain. now my blood pressure is better my kidneys feel better. and now hell has set in for while. can anyone tell me if this has happened to them.
i stumbled accross this site last night & i am so pleased that i did. i have been taking efexor for approx 4 years now, i wanted to stop taking it in feb this year but my community psychiatric nurse persuaded me to stay on it for 6 months longer as he was concerned because i was due to start counselling. i had never given it another thought until last night when i came across this site. i have had real trouble losing weight since having my baby 20 months ago, and i dont feel the meds are doing any good now anyway. i was quite scared when i read some of the side effects you guys were experiencing but i feel it is time to start reducing. i have tried cold turkey once - NEVER AGAIN!!! i felt like i was going to die!! i have now decided to take some control back in my life and i would really appreciate any support you can give i am also going to take vitamin supplements that i read last night on here. hopefully with some natural supplements, lots of willpower and supporti will get there. love and peace to all of you Helen xx
Like i said i have only been taking effexor for about a year now and even through out the year there were times where i didnt have my pills.. however i havent experiance any brin shivers or anything... peoples comments on discontinued use of effexor.. i think you should reduce ever so slightly if u want to get off the meds good luck with that
This is the first time participating in a message board of this sort. I wish I would have found an outlet like this earlier; it would have proved extremely handy. I

I was on Effexor for about 6 months. I took it because of depression and the feeling of wanting to cry all the time. Since being on the Effexor, I lost my sex drive, sleep ALL the time. I don't cry, I just don't care anymore. I'm still depressed though. So, I decided to try and ween myself off of it...(within the past 3 weeks I guess). Well, its Christmas day and I feel horrible. For the past 2 days I've been nausiated, dizzy and tired. I feel like if I could just vomit, I would feel better. I'm sweating...which is something that happened while taking it too. This is the worst feeling I've ever felt in my life. I am just wondering how long I am going to feel this sick. I have to go back to work Tuesday and I don't want to feel like this there too. Trust me...not taking it at all is a lot better than being on it. If anyone can tell me how long I will be feeling this sick, please email me at ***@****.

I have been taking Effexor for 3 years or so now -- Unfortunately, when they changed my medication I didn't take the time to find out about side effects, withdrawal, etc.
After suffering with what I have found on these sites as brain-zaps, etc. I have finally nailed it down to the fact that when I miss a dose or take it late - there they are! My pharmacy ran out so I didn't take my pill last night (I will SPEED over there today to get it). I feel totallly exhausted and the brain is zipping and zapping away. It's an awful feeling. I had no idea that the side effects were this severe.
Everyone on this site has gotten me sufficiently concerned and I have made an appt with my Dr. to switch my meds yet again.
We don't even want to discuss weight gain and total loss of sex drive -- What little "drive" was left has been dashed by the 20 lbs. extra I'm carrying around.
I'm so glad there are sites like this, Misery LOVES company! You never get the info from Doctors that you get from people in the same situation you are.

Well, when I was taking the Effexor, I wasn't hungry at all..Didn't lose any weight either--go figure. Now that I am off, I am starved to death!!! I can't get enough to eat. As soon as I went off the Effexor, the sexual side effects went away immediately. That I am happy about. It's been about a week and I am still having the brain zaps, but, not as bad. The nausea doesn't happen as long as I eat. You know, I feel so much better now that I am off of it. I feel like I am ready to take control of my life and my destiny. Thats a great feeling. I might have to step on some toes, but, it's ok. So, now I just need to go on a diet as soon as I stop feeling so starved then I feel like all will be well. Being off of it, I want to cry still, but, I figured out that is your bodies way of releasing stress. So, thats not so bad. Hang in there everyone...It will get better...I will let everyone know when the brain zaps stop.
This is to all of you out there that share an interest in Effexor. I would like to tell you my personal experience with it. Two days after 9-11, my dear husband of 18 years died suddenly of a heart attack in our home. I never dreamed that I would be a widow at the young age of 48 and let me say this, that truly is an awful thing. My doctor offered me antidepressants at the time and I passed on them, but 6 months later I found myself unable to leave my home because all I could do was sleep and cry. At that point, I did go on Effexor and for that I was grateful for it got me through some very miserable times at work-in particular with a manager that proved to be a very cold and calculating individual. I found I really didn't care what she said to me and that gave me the strength I needed to leave that miserable job even though I had been there eleven years.
I wondered if I could tolerate being off it a year later and did try to taper the dose but was simply not ready emotionally to part with what I considered an emotional crutch at that time. One year ago, I was hospitalized for a perforated ulcer which necessitated emergency surgery and a prolonged hospital stay. During that hospital stay I went off the Effexor cold turkey as there was no other choice for me. I spent probably a week having emotional swings of high to low and crying at the drop of a hat, but in retrospect, it turned out to be a good thing and I now like myself a lot better as a result. I have now been off Effexor for 13 1/2 months, and have my life back in control. For me short term ended up being nearly 3 years on antidepressants that I don't regret. If I had it to do over again, Effexor would definitely be my choice.

Well, I've been off the Effexor now for about 3 weeks. I told you all I would keep you posted on the withdrawal. I am happy to say that I don't have the "brain zaps" anymore. I feel good. I am dealing with life instead of just letting it run all over me. I think I made the right choice in going off of it. So, there is hope in the symptoms going away. Happy New Year to everyone!!
Hi,
I started Effexor 3 weeks ago and it has help me. However, during the day I become conscious of my breathing. I feel breathless and my throat becomes a little tight. It so uncomfortable. Its hell. In my mind I feel that I'm ok but I still get physical symptoms of breathlessness. I'm currently on 75 mg. Is it because I need a smaller dose or a bigger dose? Or am I having an allergic reaction? I hope someone could get me some suggestions.
Thanks
Patty
