I feel great !!! not much of an appetite but in a good way, specifically my cravings for ice cream, and sugary treats has left me.
( I'm a BIG fan of ice cream and frozen treats- maybe too much)
I've been retired just over 2 years, spent one year remodeling, after that I guess my activity went down from high to low. I've always been high energy, all my life.
I think that this med is for people who are very down on all levels, and because I'm not down, its making me a hyper. I do not have depression. Started that effexor thread hoping people who were depressed would tell me how it makes them feel
because its giving me a rush of energy.
I kinda like it.
Far as my losing weight, its easy now that I'm not craving ice cream and sugary sweets. I just eat meat and veggies mostly, some eggs now and then. Low carb.
That too gives me energy due to high protien.
It's all good.
