Anyone not gained weight?

Just wondering if there is anyone who didn't gain weight on the Venlaflaxine or lost weight. I've read a lot of horror stories

So, yes, I did not gain weight and, yes, I did lose weight. I know that it's more common to gain weight - are those the horror stories that you're hearing? Well, it's not always true. I've been taking one type of antidepressant or another for 31 years and have never had a weight gain attributed to an antidepressant.

It hasn't affected my weight at all, but I have never had any particular weight gain on any antidepressant.
All the best, & I wouldn't let the list of side effects put you off any medication you thikn might help you.
Venlafaxine is hte only med that has helped my depression at all (this was the 5th I had tried), & I have tapered off it aswell which I did find horriffic - but have still gone back to it as it is the only thing that has ever helped me.
Good luck.
Xx
