Weight gain due to medication

Occamslaser:
has anybody here ended gaining weight due to a medication they were prescribed?
There is a quiet part of me that hopes I'll end up on some med that makes me blow up lol

There's quite a few of them that will do that, and some crazy people on here have tried taking them even though they're not prescribed but the side effects just aren't worth it. You're best just smoking weed for the increased appetite or alcohol for the slowed metabolism.

I mean if you're prescribed psych meds for legitimate reasons then it's best you take them. But there's a different breed of crazy out there who take them for the love of the sport

Weight gain due to medication

I’m on a couple different psych meds. It’s in everyone’s best interest for me to take them as prescribed, and my life is far better without the extreme highs and lows of bipolar disorder. So trust me when I say that you do NOT want to take this stuff unless you have to. The side effects are no joke. I can go into detail if you really want, but honestly it’s kind of depressing when I let myself think about it too much. You should only take mood stabilizers or antipsychotics (the usual suspects in medication induced weight gain) if your mental illness is making you miserable and/or impacting your ability to perform activities of daily living.
