Weight gain: There’s not a lot that can be done about weight gain other than either lowering the dose or changing to an alternative med. Without knowing more about you there’s no way to determine an alternative that would be best for you specifically. Please speak with your prescriber about your concerns regarding this side effect with Effexor (venlafaxine) and determine a course of action that works for you.
