After 2 months of use i've noticied ankle feet swelling and increased edginess. Anyone one els? i use 3 pumps per day. ## From other T injection forums, this is an estrogen issue that can be handled with estrogen blockers. More common with T injections as they deliver so much all at once. ## I believe Dankster is partially on the right track, the weight gain and fluid retention are due to estrogen. When you supplement a hormone back, it tends to wake up the estrogen receptors in your body, so things go kind of crazy for awhile and yes, an aromatase inhibitor that blocks estrogen may help, if it's safe for you to use one. However, the edgy feeling is most likely due to the testosterone itself and it just your body adjusting to the higher level of it. The same thing happens to wom...

After 10 years of attempting to gain weight its failed every time. I see all these people who have shared the same problem. Us skinny people need to stick together and demand justice for being ignored of our unhappiness. Some people cannot gain weight simply with diet and exercise the same way obese people cannot lose weight with diet and exercise as well. Its our bodies our choice of what we want. Im 28 5'3 and always could never get passed 105 ended up dislocating my knee cap and having back problems due to my lack of weight and body mass. After my first child i went from 117 to 103 in a week lost my breasts butt and curves in general im extremely angry to the fact that i have to fight and push doctors to finally do something but enough is enough im going to demand (not ask) demand f

I am 60 years old and lost weight due to double lung infection. Which is now clear I would prefer to put back the Lost 10 to 15 kgs lost ## Hello, Mike! How are you doing? It will most likely just be a matter of time, as your body heals and things return to normal the weight will likely return. It is probably going to just require some patience on your part. Have you consulted your doctor? It would be best to do that, just to be sure there's nothing else going on, but otherwise eating healthy will be your best solution.

I am switching from Lexapro to Zoloft and was wondering about weight gain. Has anyone had problems with weight gain while taking Zoloft? ## I found it is almost impossible to lose weight when you are on Zoloft. When I go off Zoloft, my weight falls quite easily. But when I go back on, I do experience weight gain. ## Yes, weight gain is a normal side effect of most SSRI antidepressants. There are two reasons for this, one is the effects of the drug on your body and the second is due to the fact that some people who suffer from depression and other mental illness issues, do not eat properly and when these drugs help them to feel better, they find their appetite returning and their eating habits improving. The good news is that the weight gain is not severe and you weight will not continue...

I am gaining weight (around my top waist)...very fast.... I am 60 and never had it.... Can it be the Nuzac? I am taking one every 2nd day for 2 years now... ## Hello, Elizabeth! How are you? This medication is listed as containing the active ingredient Fluoxetine and no, it's actually better known for being weight neutral or causing weight loss in some people that take it. However, the weight gain could be a normal symptom of aging, especially if you're postmenopausal. Gaining in that area of the body is a normal side effect of hormonal changes in women. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications?

I was prescribed Lexamil 5mg and I took 1 on the 11.11.2010 before reading the prescription note. I am feeling so overweight, and my bowel movement is totally altered. How long does the effects last? Alternatively how do I reverse this? ## Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, it is an antidepressant. Yes, many of them can cause some weight gain, however, taking on pill is not enough to have that effect. It may have caused some bloating and intestinal upset, however, these are normal side effects and should wear off in a few weeks as your body adjusts to the medication. There is also no way to reverse it, other than to just stop taking it for awhile. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? ## I have been on Lexamil for about 18 months now and I struggle terribly with m...

I originally got on the web today to research how to loose weight gained from medication. I have been on Viibryd for 6 months for Major Depressive disorder. I currently take 40 mg. It should be noted taking Viibryd has changed me from a size 0 to size 6. 20lbs. My appetite at times especially in the evening is RAVENOUS. I am embarrassed by how much I can eat and not be full. I have been nonchalant about a few pounds here and there but it devestated me yesterday when i caught a glimpse of CELLULITE on my backside. Nothing else has changed in my medicines or routine. I have always been slim. I have compassion for any who have been trying to figure out if Viibryd is causing their body to change physically. I also will comment on other side effects in another post. My memory is compromised ...

I took 52 mgs of cyproheptadine in one dose. I didn't know it caused weight gain. I don't want to gain weight just wanted to sleep. If I stop now will I still gain the unwanted weight? And when will it leave my body? ThanKs ps I only took it this once but I took a super high dose, when will it leave my body. ## Hi gabby, From what I've researched, weight gain is in fact listed as a "possible" side effect of Cyproheptadine; but this doesn't mean it happens to everyone who takes it...which is probably why we aren't really concerned about these things until they actually begin to manifest. Odds are though, that these types of side effects usually tend to subside after you stop taking what's causing it to begin with. According to the Journal of Analytical Tox...

my age 23 but i am very weak ## Are you saying you are weak as in not muscular from not working out? Or do you have chronic fatigue or other similar symptoms of a condition? What sort of weight gainer tablet are you referring to? To my knowledge the best weight gainer is eating more calories than you burn off, no? I don't know anything about your lifestyle to comment on what you need to do in order to improve your weight gain. Please provide some deeper insight so I or someone else can be of help to you. ## i am eating normal food not a junk food, so give me advice for diet,how to gain my weight ## Are you currently an active person doing strength training or weight lifting?

I went off nuzak but at the same time changed from Eltroxin to Diotroxin. In that change I have been putting on weight and my stomach feeling uncomfortable and bloated constantly. Would it be from the Diotroxin that I'm now on and isn't working for me? Or possibly coming off the Nuzak? I'm thinking about going back to Eltroxin but not sure which could be the cause. ## Such symptoms would most likely be due to starting a new medication, those aren't things that are normally caused by stopping one. Diotroxin contains Levothyroxine and Liothyronine and these types of medications are well known to cause weight gain and GI upsets, such as what you're experiencing. These side effects should start to taper off in about 4 to 6 weeks, as your body adjusts to the medication. A...

Take linsopril 5mg1a day bupropion sr 150mg 2a day zonisamide 100mg 4a day birth control 1a day. Lost close to 20 lbs befor linsopril, but haven't been on it a month yet. Seem to have stalled out. Weight is VERY important issue (please don't ask why :) any thoughts? Body need to adjust? Pain/ can't workout like used to ## How long have you been taking the birth control? The reason I'm asking is because if you've been on it for awhile and just recently started the Lisinopril for blood pressure elevation, there's a chance that the contraceptives are what's causing the elevation and you may not need to take another medication. There's a chance it could be resolved by just stopping the hormonal contraceptives. Depending on how high it is, you may need a blood...

Since starting Eliquis two weeks ago I have been gaining weight and experiencing extreme tiredness. I discontinued Coumadin, after three tears for a PE as it was not able to be regulated. Any thoughts ? ## Hello, Dennis! How are you? Those are typical side effects of Eliquis, as listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. There have been quite a few posts about it. Sadly, no medications are side effect free. However, they do tend to be transient and should taper off, once your body gets used to the medication, which may take about 4 to 6 weeks. If they don't, then you should speak to your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm 32 yr old women, I been losing a lot of weight I'm suppost to be 160 and now I'm in 125 what vitamins are good to gain my weight back and fast.. Thank you. ## Hi Muneca22, If you're looking to gain weight, vitamins can be a great way to help supplement your nutrient intake, providing energy, as well as improving absorption of the foods you eat. However, I think It might be a good idea to have blood work done first in order to determine whether you have any nutrient deficiencies - that way you can know without a doubt what specific nutrient(s) your body is lacking in. A standard multivitamin could probably suffice in terms of replacing deficiencies, but from my experience, raw vitamins and minerals derived from whole fruits/vegetables tend to be best since they are no...

This is my story: I've been taking Invega since 2013. I read dozens of pages on the Internet and they say it causes weight gain. I read everything on the papers they had in the medication box when I bought it and it says it causes weight gain. I asked many pharmacists and they say it causes weight gain. I asked more than 15 patients that take medication (same or other) and they say it causes weight gain. I asked friends or other people that know or not know about it and they say it causes weight gain. And ALL ALL ALL ALL psychiatrists say it does NOT! Filthy LIARS! I gained 43 kilos in less than 3 months. I was 68 kilos and now I am 111 kg. Every month I lose 1 or 2 kilos and gain them again. My skin has got stretch marks for more than one year in my belly, in my central body Everyw...

avandia would cause weight gain. why and how? well, it increases the bodies sensitivity to insulin!! if this happens your body will 'tell' the liver and muscle cells to take in glucose and store it in the form of glycogen, and causing fat cells to take in blood lipids and turn them into triglycerides. I hope this helps, Ive tried to make a rather complicated subject more user friendly lol ## It is not wise to take avandia with any form of insulin or nitrates!!!!!! and IF rapid wieght gain occurs seek medical advise asap!
