In Response To: Medication and weightloss/weightgain (Kristine)

Hi Kristine,
I also take some drugs for depression and for Bipolar Disorder. The drug I take for Depression is Wellbutrin. It does cause weight loss. Zyprexa can cause weight gain. I was put on a drug this past year that also causes weight gain called Abilify. So far I have gained 15 pounds. It has counter-acted with a drug that is called Topomax which I take that causes the body to lose a lot of weight. :( You mentioned that you took Paxil. It caused me to gain weight as well. I gained 35 pounds on it. I would rather lose or maintain the weight I was at. Now I am down again about my weight. That is great you have stopped snacking at night. That does help. It is a culprit for me. I seem to crave carbs at night time. Hope you are doing well.
