I've been put on cefuroxime axetil for a while..Since the day I started taking it,I'm gaining weight RAPIDLY..I gain 0.3-0.6 lbs everyday and 6 days I've gained upto 3 lbs..

I don't have an ED but I would say when it comes to the number,my mind functions like that of an anorexic.Any increase in weight and I get too obsessive and perturbed,so its making me crazy.

Anyway,this hasn't happened to me before so what I meant to ask is : how do they cause weight gain? Increase in hunger is not an answer in my case and I'm not eating more at all..

So is it causing my metabolism to be slower or leading to fluid retention,which should be temporary? Will it go away once I stop taking it!
