Answers:
The vast majority of people do not have to settle for weight gain on SSRI's, like effexor!. Weight gain, for the most part , is caused by a sedentary lifestyle!. Statistics show, if a person on SSRI's exercises regularly, eats healthy and watches their caloric intake, they will not gain weight!. People on SSRI's have a tendency to sleep more, which burns less calories, and also eat more, because foods are used for mood enhancement for the depressed, which increases caloric intake!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've been on Lexapro and Wellbutrin for the last year and a half, for depression!. In my case, I've been losing weight!. With the depression, I got to where I didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning!. With the medications, I'm feeling a lot better - and feel more like doing things!. I think that's what has helped me lose the weight!.
As has already been said, if you're more active it does make a big difference!.
Best of Luck to you :-)

there's a possibility of that for most antidepressants!. I didnt have a good time when I was on Effexor (it made my sex drive disappear)!. I'm on Welburtin now and find it has minimal side effects!. I highly suggest you look into that Rx!.
