I was put on Fludrocortisone to help my hydrocortisone due to addidson's disease and low blood pressure and sodium...I have gained 12 pounds in a week and a half.

Will the weight gain level off and can I lose again?

Things to eat/drink to help me lose?

If you have been on this medication, please let me know how it affected your weight.

Thank you,

    I’m on fludrocortisone twice a day now and it makes you gain weight due to fluid retention so the scale is not reliable. How you look and feel is. I’m just starting out trying to lose 40lbs. It’s an uphil battle so far. Have you had any positive results?
