Effexor is known to contribute to weight gain, but only about 10-15 pounds. I am not familiar with the other meds. you are taking. Perhaps when you get them filled you can ask the pharmacist to give you the list of side effects. You can also probably find them on a web site for the home page of those meds too.
Are you able to get any exercise? Although the meds might make you feel hungry, you control what you eat and how many calories you burn. Sounds like you are a healthy eater, but you didn't mention any routine for fitness. Maybe even just walking a bit would help. Remember, drinking lots of water helps to reduce the hunger pains - as does eating more smaller meals throughout the day. Good luck.
