I just started taking Effexor last night to help with depression and anxiety and feeling of guilt, etc....caused by, related to and made worse because of Bulemia. I have just begun getting help for my eating disorder, though I know i have years of recovery ahead of me. I read the petition online over Effexors devastating side affects, and am now totally freaked out. One of the main things mentioned was massive weight gain. Of course this scares me so badly, I know if I gaina single pound, I will go back to what I know, and the reason for my hell in the first place. I just want to know if anyone else out there has been prescribed Effexor b/c of an eating disorder, and how you experience was, good or awful. I just started taking it last night, and I am taking the extended release, so i am starting on 37.5 and working my way up. If anyone can give me any advice or ANYTHING, please, please do! Thank you
