> Which psych meds are you taking that have caused weight gain?
I have been on bupropion and lamotrigine for quite a while and my weight has been constant for the past couple of years (I'm in my 50's). I usually control FMS just with regular exercise and fitness but this latest flare-up has been bad enough to have me searching for drugs effective against sleeplessness and FM pain, which makes it hard to exercise as I need to do. Have tried amitriptyline, cyclobenzaprine, and gabapentin in varying combinations. Have gained 7 pounds in 3 months! I wasn't overweight before but am now, and I'm not happy about it :-(
My daughter put on almost 30 lbs with SSRIs and is struggling to take it off. It's a rough business, this weight gain problem.
