@ang811 You are not alone. I am going through the exact same thing and I even believe it may have caused weight gain. I've been considering tapering off the drug for a couple weeks now; however, the withdrawals (as you mentioned) are too much.

Hi!
I COULD be POSSIBLE to taper off Effexor without horrible withdrawals IF you do it VERY, VERY, VERY SLOWLY!!!!!!
I was taking 300 mg. a day.
It took me about 5 months to taper down 25%.
I am now staying on that dosage for a few months before I begin to taper down another 25%.
Did I mention VERY, VERY, VERY SLOWLY?

Effexor WILL contribute to weight gain and/or difficulty taking off weight.

Good luck!
