Weight On

I am losing weight with Creon why? ## creon and weight loss ## This contains Pancrelipase, which is a pancreatic hormone that is used to treat people who have pancreatic conditions, or cannot digest food normally. According to NIH studied, if you are not digesting food properly, weight loss is an expected side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, and stomach pain. Has there been any change for either of you? Are either of you on any other medications? What do your normal diets consist of?

I've worked hard to get my weight up. Doc wants me on fuxeon. How will this effect my weight? ## Hello, Pitt! How are you? It can cause anorexia, as a side effect, along with erythema, insomnia and depression. Have you talked to your doctor about it? Maybe a high calorie supplement could help, while you're taking it.

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 lost almost 10lbs on this new job I started. Up and down flights of stairs on a ship. was weighting 170 now its 160. I want my weight back. what can I do to prevent the weight lost again. ## Hello, Mocha! How are you? Well, there's no way to really change the nature of your job, so your other alternative would be to try to eat more calorie dense foods, such as proteins. What do you normally eat?

I have been taking Jadelle for about 6month now,i lose alot of weight, yea and also irregular mens, for us woman we very particular with things, I don't like what Jadelle has done for me, will have it removed... ## Yes, we are very particular. I am sorry that you have suffered such issues and yes, if the Jadelle has caused it, then you should explore your other options. Losing weight on it is very unusual, though, because hormonal contraceptives usually cause the opposite problem. Learn more Jadelle details here. How soon will you be able to have it removed? ## pliz just tell me how can I regain my weight when jadelle allready taken most of my weight.

reduce body weight ## Maintaining healthy lifestyle eating habits and a consistent exercise regime is the most effective and safest method to losing weight and keeping it off your whole life. Also be sure to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated throughout the day. There are times when you may feel hungry but you're actually just thirsty for water, so taking the preemptive attack on hydration will avoid this common problem. Other than that I don't know enough about your total lifestyle to comment on what you need to do in order to improve; so just take this as general information that you can keep track of. If you'd like a more detailed response, please post back with more information about yourself and/or your exercise, eating, and sleeping habits. Hope this helps!

Hi. I've been taking Nexito 15mg for about 2 months now. I feel like i'm losing a lot of weight, although I am eating well and sometimes even over eating. Could it be causing the weight loss? Don't the side effects include weight GAIN? ## Hi, Tammy! Have you actually weighed yourself, or do you just feel that you're losing weight? Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRi antidepressant yes, they do usually cause weight gain, though this one isn't known to cause a significant gain and it doesn't happen to everyone that takes it.

Will switching to suboxone help me lose it. ## Hi Jenna, I was on methadone 4 almost 5 years and gained 50 lbs. a lot of people have gained weight while on it. ( seen it myself) I lost all the weight once I got off the methadone. I'm now on suboxone, and, no weight gain with it. I'm a petite person 2, and, I' am at my weight, where I was b 4 I got on methadone. Weight gain is 1 of the side effects, but, they don't tell u that. ## Hello, Jenna! How are you? I just want to clarify why weight gain happens on opiates, it is because they are essentially a downer that s...

I have been on Pristiq now since November of 2008...not quite 5 months...and I have put on 15 lbs since starting it. DESPITE working out with a trainer at the gym twice a week weight training, 3 days a week of cardio AND counting calories. My doc assured me that I would also have a decreased appetite on Pristiq, which I have yet to find true...so he has now increased my dosage to 400 mg. Does anyone have anything to add to this?? I'm just frustrated! ## i was switched to pristiq a few months ago and just recently wellbutrin was added - i take 1 of each pill per day - it has done nothing to me in gaining weight - i am continuously losing but i have some emtional things going on right now which i believe the weight loss is contributed too - unfortunately i have run into many that have...

I have been on for Pradaxa for just under a month. I had gained about 12 pounds from not being able to walk due to new A Fib. Now with Pradaxa, i'm able to walk a mile plus per day. I have been walking again for over 2 weeks. I have lost the 12 pounds and a couple of more. Instead of a loss of appetite, I have a curbing of my appetite, I am approaching my 20 year old weight. ## That is awesome, many report the opposite when taking this class of medications, so the FDA lists the common side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising. (NDC 0597-0149 for more details.) Has anyone else experienced weight loss while taking this medication? ## Still at the same weight loss/12 pounds I take the med with 8 ounces of ...

Not everyone experiences such a side effect, so there's no way to know if it will happen to you, or not, but the possibility is there. Normally, I'd tell someone not to worry about it, but given your psychological state and the fact that the gain h...

I am taking thyronorm 50 since 1 yrs after my first report but after that my report was normal and i am still taking that medicine so i would like to know that should i continue this medicine or not ? ## Hello, Neha! How are you? Yes, you should continue the medication, as directed by your doctor. If you do not and you have a thyroid issue, it will just start acting up, again, if you stop taking it. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I TAKE 30mg OF ROXICODONE ONCE A DAY. I HAVE NOTICED , THAT IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS , I HAVE STARTED TO LOSE ABOUT 20LBS. I AM 5'11 AND WEIGH 165LBS. DOES THE DRUG HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY WEIGHT LOSS? THANKYOU. FRAN ## this site is not medical professionals, so cannot definitively say it is from the drug, but it does cause this for some people. With some people's metabolisms, narcotics tend to work as stimulants. Read more on the drug here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I too have just recently lost around 15 lbs. After reading many sites, this seems to be the trend. ## I am wondering if something they add is what makes people lose. are you sick at all?

My name is Sue, & I myself have taken Trazadone. It belongs to the Benzodiazapan family. It didn't make me lose weight, quite the opposite. In 11 months I have gained a total of 85 lbs. I went to the doctor & he told me to quit eating & exercise. So I felt that I could trust what he said because hes a DR. Finally I went to a different Dr. & he prescribed me Effexor XR and ever since, (27 days ago) I have lost 14 lbs. I'm no Dr. but it worked for me so ask your Dr. about it. ## sue, thanks for the posting i was wondering if it could be keeping me from losing weight. actually they have me on it to help me sleep at night. they had be on doxipin before didnt loose weight for a whole year and craved sweets and this was shortly after my gastric bypass then i read the s...
