No, I haven't tried Effexor. When I told the doctor about my 15 pound gain in two months, he named off some more AD but said that Welbutrin was the only one that didn't have weight gain side effects. I have been on Welbutrin before combined with Lexapro, but I couldn't tell it helpled. But, if I can't get any relief from this, I will ask him to let me try the Effexor. I think that is what my H takes (but by a generic name). He hasn't gained any weight, just stays about the same. I am really concerned about gaining so much so quickly and I really have watched to be sure I wasn't over eating or snacking. I really haven't had that much of an appetite.....that is what is amazing. So, it has to be the AD that is putting it on.

Thanks for the advice, b/c I will try it if this doesn't help. I'm giving it one more month.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
