@shoofly435. Thank you so much for this information and undestanding and AGREEING that these meds CAN cause weight gain.

Everybody is different. Medications affect people differently. I am not the only one that has gained weight on this medication. I am very diligent about watching what I eat and working out 4-5 times per week.

I take that position because this is the second time I've been on this medication in the last 15 years and both times I gained between 10 and 15 pounds.

I have used phentermine in the past with good results, however, I didn't keep the weight off; thus, the reason I have joined MFP. I'm just trying to learn to eat healthier and stay off diet pills. They really aren't good for you.

I want to lose 30-40 lbs. I'm a 61-year-old woman. I started an anti-anxiety med about 5 months ago and it seemed like I woke up one morning with 15 extra pounds on my body!!!! My metabolism seems to be nonexistent. I need motivation. I'm starting AGAIN today, which is Friday, but I can't put it off any longer.
