Question

I'm taking effexor and would like to wean myself off


Sent to Health Experts August 24, 2006 11:32 p.m.

I'm taking Customer (name blocked for privacy) and would like to wean myself off of it because it does'nt let me lose weight. I tried to wean myself by taking only half the dose I normally take and was overcome with crying spells.

Hello and Welcome to Just Answer,

Can you tell me how long you have been on Customer (name blocked for privacy)? How much are you taking a day? Are you on any other kind of medications? If so, what is the name of them? Is there a reason why you believe that Customer (name blocked for privacy) makes you gain weight? Have you had any kind of lab tests done, such as thyroid, cholesterol?

If you could answer these questions, I would be glad to help you.

Thank you,
