"i can explain this drug easily. it will take away your problems, but...your sleep won&#039;t be effective, you will have extreme memory problems, you won&#039;t experience vibrant emotion (it&#039;s always dull), did i mention you will be tired literally all day within minutes of waking? you will basically be a living zombie where every action you take feels forced and fake. you will gain a ton of weight. i was a bodybuilder, 200lb 7.5% bodyfat year round. counted calories constantly. still did on effexor, counted them all the way up to 4k a day along with 4-6 beers and no weight lifting. i just didn&#039;t care. i&#039;m 215lbs at 28% bodyfat. if you don&#039;t know what that means, basically i traded a 6-pack for a keg. went from a size 32 to a size 38. in 8 months"
