Are my meds making me gain weight?

I was doing alright working out and watching what I ate. Then my MD started me on 80mg of Lipator. When I started exercise I was only able to do 10mins on the treadmill at a low setting and had worked up to 30mins at level 2. Then as I started the meds I was only able to do 10 mins before my legs cramped up so bad I could not walk at all. Now I have gained back all I had lost plus 2lbs. I'm still counting calories and fat. I have modified my work out so that I do 3 ten minute sessions on the treadmill with weights inbetween. But this is getting depressing.

    It is completely possible the Lipitor is putting the weight on. Maybe check with your doctor and print out your logs from here to show him what you are doing? Good luck!
