Cycloset And Weight Gain
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was on Victoza and was losing weight and my sugar count was way down. Then I started having stomach pain and backaches, so my doctor took me off of it and put me on Cycloset. Even though I do feel better I'm starting to eat like I was before and am also gaining some weight back. Is this normal? I need to lose weight badly. I've been on it for one week. Thanks.

Cycloset contains the active ingredient Bromocriptine and it has not been shown to cause significant weight gain.

How have your blood sugar levels been?

This could be just a reaction to their fluctuating from switching medications. If they are higher, because of a rebound effect, while your body gets used to the new medication, then that could be causing more hunger, so you eat more and will gain some weight. However, this should correct itself, as your body gets used to the new medication. If it continues past 4 to 6 weeks, then you should contact your doctor, as it may not be the right medication for you.

Are there any other questions or comments?
