Venlafaxine doesn't make me hungrier - if anything the opposite. Definitely no weight gain. Like Duck, I found it keeps me awake. When I was taking the regular release (twice daily) version it stopped me sleeping, so I'm now on slow release and that's fine. The other significant effect it's had for me is in raising my pulse - it gives me persistent tachycardia - but that's not a serious problem, just something I keep an eye on.
