Venlafaxine is my current med, like others no weight gain from these, my most stable med to date, again the withdrawal is hell, one tedious side effect is sweating ( I could sweat for britain), I take Promazine along side for anxiety, but in general a great med, the higher the dose becomes the more effective it gets, I'm currently on the highest dose, 150mg twice daily, recently had a bad patch but the medication isn't to blame, sometimes I struggle with sleeping, again I think this is due to the meds, so if you get trouble sleeping on them consider speaking to your doctor about it, they gave me Promethazine to try to help me sleep but they don't work for me. everybody's different but I'd definitely say it's worth giving Venlafaxine a go, it took nearly a month for them to settle properly when I started them, so be sure to give them enough time to settle, for the first 2 to 3 weeks I felt like I was walking on air, I actually quite liked it but it may make you feel anxious if your not used to the feeling, good luck :) xxx
