Effexor can’t stop eating

[Deleted member 37868]

I started Effexor about two weeks ago, and I love how it’s making me feel, I mean it’s actually working s little already. But. I can’t stop eating, I haven’t had this problem with any other antidepressants and it’s scaring me. I work out daily and eat healthy, but since Effexor I wanna eat every five minutes. Does this go away? I’m going to stop taking it if it doesn’t, I do not want to end up overweight. Idk man.

Are you hungry all the time? Sounds like it might be messing with your blood sugar so take care. It gave me anemia.

I had the opposite problem with Effexor. It made my appetite disappear. After a while the idea of eating became repugnant, I couldn't even force myself to eat.
I had to stop taking it before I starved myself to death.

I wish it had that affect on me, like I already ate a lot, but I have a really good metabolism, but now it’s just like waaaay too much

What Are the Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency With Effexor?

Pernicious anemia to be specific, it interferes with the absorption of B12 in some people, I was already consuming way too much sugar and then when I was taking iron I was absolutely starving right after and feeling extremely faint :(

I think most of my side effects were gone by 2-3 weeks but it may have been a little longer. Not a doctor but I would recommend waiting it out at least 4 weeks. I’ve been on effexor almost two years now and it’s literally the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I hope you’re able to find an agreeable med cocktail soon.
