Can Effexor Intake Cause Rise In Body Weight With Fogginess & Fatigue?
I am scared Effexor has damaged my liver and metabolism. I have gained 28 pounds in 21 months. I tapered off it March last year yet I cannot regain my healthy weight. I have fogginess, fatigue, back pain, abdominal pain waiting for laparoscopy. My family and friends say my weight it not me. I have had 3 children and am heavier now than when pregnant with them all. I feel depressed.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Effexor can have an effect on weight. In some persons it can be associated with weight loss wheras can cause weight gain in others.
It would not have a permanent effect. Once you have discontinued it, it would not have any further effect on weight.
There are different diet regimens that may be helpful for your weight loss. The low carb diet and low fat/low calorie diet.
It can sometimes be hard for any one to lose weight on their own. You may want to consult a weight loss doctor or nutritionist for help.
I hope this helps
