Excessive Weight Gain Post Taking Effexor. Would HCG Be A Positive Weight Loss Consideration?
Hi. I ve been on Effexor for a year and have put on an extra 25 lbs that will not move. I was very active and a 25 year vetran bodybuilder prior to going on Effexor, so this weight gain is a bit challenging to accept at times. I m also 44 and understand that this coud also be related to my increase in weight. Would HCG be a positive weight loss consideration?
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. The most important way of controlling the weight is by doing exercises and dietary restriction cutting down on the high fat foods. Medications for weight control have all come and left with out much efficacy. HCG is just one of them and personally I have never noticed significant weight loss in my patients on HCG. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to further details about your query, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
Wish you good health, Kind regards Dr. Srikanth Reddy M.D.
