How Long Does It Take To Gain Weight

I'm 17 and the doctor told me I had gallstones, and so I've literally been eating foods with no fat, non greasy, and it caused my weight to deteriorate dramatically. I wasn't pleased at my weight at all. And so I did some research and found out about periactin bin on the pill for a month and the results are amazing!!! Butt growth, thigh growth, arms and a little bit of stomach. I love it !! I'm currently still on the pill I honestly fell in love with my weight. It workssss!!! ## The only problem with it is that the weight gain is just a side effect, so you might lose it all, again, once you stop taking it, according to NIH reports. Side effects are usually transient, so they tend to go away with time, once your body gets used to a medication, or once you stop taking it. ...

how I can get very good muscle and gain weight ## Eat a ton of lean meat and starches, and then start lifting. You're going to have to double or triple your calorie intake to see any results. Go for dense stuff like cheesy potatoes and protein shakes with a lot of sugar in them.

I have nerve pain in my right arm Doctor gave me gabapentin 300mgs to take twice daily how long does it take before I feel it working ## Hello, Dano! How are you? Since it isn't an actual analgesic, it may take 4 to 5 weeks, before it reaches its full level of efficacy in your body to see if it helps you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## took 3 days for relief of my nerve pain this time atound (in my buttock of all places) 2 years ago it is the only drug that kept me sane while waiting for a knee replacement. ## i took that 2 every 6 hours and i started walking down the steps and my legs gave out, i don't mean it will happen to you cos everybody is diffe...

I have gained about 40 pounds in 8 months, I don't attribute all of that to xarelto, however I work out pretty vigorously, and after seeing the posts, I'm sure it has had an effect. How long does it take Xarelto to fully leave your system? ## Hello, Drew! How are you? Yes, many people have reported weight gain on Xarelto. The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. How long will you be taking it? It only takes 25 to 54 hours, so not very long, once you stop it, but make sure to do so under your doctor's supervision. ## Hi Verwon....I was on a trail case study, where Bayer is testing using lower dose Xaerlto versus low aspirin or a combination of both. Started October 2015, and d...

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...

How long should Horizant take to work? So far it's been 2 weeks of taking 600mg in the morning and 600mg in the evening, and no results for nerve damage from shingles. I can't find any info on how long Horizant should take to work. Thank you in advance for any information or feedback on this medication. ## While Horizant does sometimes have some immediate benefits, in many cases it takes about 4 to 5 weeks for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, mood changes, dry mouth, and weight gain. Ref: Horizant Information This medication seems to be hit, or miss, when it helps people, it seems to work wonderfully, but for others, it does absolutely nothing. I tried it, more than once, and even...

I AM CURRENTLY ON A VERY EFFECTICE EATING PLAN AND EXERCISE ROUTING FOR LOSING WEIGHT. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN USING LEXAMIL 20MG FOR 3 WEEKS NOW CAN CANNOT MANAGE TO SHED ANY MORE WEIGHT ## Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and it is actually not known to cause significant weight gain. In clinical trials, after 6 months of use, most people have gained less than 0.6kg. It may be just your body adjusting to your current diet and exercise regimen. This can happen with any plan, like this, and it can cause weight loss to slow. Are there any other questions? ## Hi good day. I would just like to know some facts.i am looking after a pasient with dementia alzheimer and she is on lexamil and urbanol she has been eating alot and have put on alot of weight since i started working...

I'm on 5mg of Bystolic and besides being so darn tired, I've gained weight. How much weight gain can I expect?? ## Hello, Carol! How are you? Most medications in this class can cause weight gain as a side effect, but it usually insignificant, generally about 5 pounds, or so. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. How much have you gained? ## At least 5 lbs and I need to lose a lot of weight. I have just decreased the amount to 2.5mg because the lethary was making me feel amazingly horrible. ## Hi if I take lutenyl to postpone my period for one month how much weight I will gain

It's interesting how you focused on diet and exercise as a coordinated effort. I was thinking it would also be beneficial to monitor RMR,BMI, and calories burned. Then you would have some accuracy in determining and adjusting your diet for weight gain or loss. If anyone is interested I have found Online calculators available for RMR, BMI & Calories Burned and how to get big muscles, at howtogainweight123.com/big. These are pretty simple, just enter your age, weight, height and activities you have done during the day. The calculator's will do the rest and tell you how many calories you use for the whole day and when at rest. This could help someone know how to adjust their diet to either gain weight or lose weight. ## You are correct that using such tools may be beneficial fo...

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 have Epilepsy and have used Epilim for almost 5years now and in that 5years I have gained almost 35kilograms. I have started to become depressed by getting fat from the Epilim so I turned to my doctor. He has now prescribed the Epitec 25mg for me and I must increase it gradually over a period of 4weeks to 100mg. Reading all of these confessions of Epitec I'm rather scared to take it now, as I'm used to Epilim. I DO believe that these medications make you gain weight, as I do follow a very strict diet and excersize every day, I still gain weight. Is it normal to be scared of Epitec and is there a diet or excersize program one can follow to ACTUALLY loose weight on this medication? ## Yes, they are all known to cause weight gain. I've not found a single one of the anticonvul...

I want to gain weight..please help me.I am female..20 years old.please reply me gain weight drug. ## Hi niki, To gain weight in a healthy manner I would suggest the first option of portioning out your meals every 2-3 hours (right around 6 meals per day). These meals should include natural nutrient dense foods with little to no empty calories, so you can get the most out of each meal. Another option which would be useful to include with the above information, is to supplement with something that will increase your appetite. Depending on your view and the legal status in your country/state, medical marijuana has extreme appetite increasing properties; however there are other pills out there that can do pretty much the same thing. Most importantly (in my opinion) is to get as many fruits a...

I need help gaining weight. I've lost too much and am feed up with it. The worst part is that now my family is trying to claim I do not eat at all and suggesting I eat every three hours. I do eat. More then most actually. One reason is because I am trying to quit smoking so naturally I eat more as a result. Still I haven't gained any weight. I tried eating high protein foods too and nothing. What medicines or products might I use to help me gain weight again. ## Well, the first important question to ask is why have you lost so much weight? Why is your family claiming you don't eat?

I started bystolic 4 years ago. I ve had several issues with it. The most troubling is the 40 pound weight gain. Just stopped bystolic. Wondering if anyone can tell me if I am stuck with this gain or will I start to lose it. I am not usually overweight. But could not lose an ounce on bystolic. ## Hello, Sue! How are you? What did you replace it with? If you were taking it for high blood pressure or a cardiac condition, then you can't just stop such a medication abruptly, unless your doctor has approved your doing so, because that creates the risk of a rebound effect, which could result in severely elevated blood pressure and heart rate. You really need to work with your doctor to find a medication that works for you, without causing such problematic side effects. But yes, once switc...
