Has anyone experienced weight gain while using Velaxin ER 37.5 mg? I often overeat from stress, it's already a habit, so I wonder if Velaxin will help me stop overeating and improve my depression, or if it will make me eat even more and feel worse.

One of the side effects of Velaxin ER 37.5 mg is weight gain, but also weight loss (by reducing appetite). Velaxin ER is used to treat depression, but also m.in anxiety disorders. The main therapeutic effect of the drug should reduce stress levels and thus the desire to snack. Reported adverse drug reactions are included in the package leaflets along with the frequency of occurrence. Including an adverse reaction in the leaflet does not mean that it will occur in every patient using a given drug.

At the beginning of treatment, the symptoms of the disease may intensify. The first therapeutic effects are visible after a few weeks of regular use of the preparation.
In the case of habitual "stress eating", I encourage you to consult a dietician who will develop a suitable diet for you. A proper diet will provide the body with the correct nutritional status, which will have beneficial therapeutic effects for the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders. You can take advantage of the dietician's advice, e.g. through a teleconsultation, m.in. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
