Effexor, also known as venlafaxine, is an antidepressant medication used to treat depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. While some people may experience weight loss as a side effect of Effexor, weight gain is a more common side effect. The risk of weight gain may be higher for people who take Effexor for a more extended period or at higher doses. It is essential to talk to a healthcare professional about any medication side effects and to work with a healthcare team to manage weight.
