Oh, I forgot to answer your question, Eddie.

Once I was off of the SSRIs the weight began to drop. Now that I'm (still) on Effexor that has stopped, but in between discontinuing the SSRIs and starting the Effexor I lost 20 pounds in 5 months without trying. Hopefully it will fully come off. If you weren't depressed before, packing on 40 pounds while taking these meds will surely get you there.
