I'm taking EffexorXR and have just started low-carbing because I have gained 25 pounds since beginning antidepressants a year ago (I started on Celexa) and I'm not even taking what is considered a high dose! My cravings for sweets had become enormous and I felt I was being devoured by sugars and carbs. I'm trying to get myself back in control by cutting back on carbs. I'm only finishing up week one but do feel better about myself and my carb addicitions already! I'm due for my checkup in early November and will ask for a blood work up and to start weaning myself off the Effexor. (I was warned not to stop "cold turkey!") I hope that I have lost some weight by that time--only 2 pounds so far!
