Hello,
I was switched to venlafaxine when my daughter was probably around 10 months old. She is now 2 years and 9 months and 52 lbs- in the 100th percentile. We are seeing genetics for her to rule out any obesity-related disorders. She does not have prader-willi, has a great and varied diet, and is not obsessed with food, nor eat abnormal portions. Her weight jumped percentiles when she was only on purées and BLW some solids-not much food at all.
I have gained 30 lbs on this drug and am hoping to taper off, and now I’m worried that her excessive weight gain might actually be due to my medication- since it made me gain so much weight. Is this at all possible? I take 75 mg. She is still nursing several times each day/night.
I would appreciate any insight.
Thank you.
