Can Inderal cause weight gain?

Possibly. Especially if you are lethargic from the medication and maybe not getting up and being as active as normal.

The computer does not give you any calories that could lead to weight gain.  However, if you sit around at the computer or anything else and reduce your activity level so that you burn fewer calories, then you could gain weight.  Such gain has nothing directly to do with the computer;  you could just as well spend the same amount of time sitting in front of a mirror and get similar results.

This is a load of crap, Diphenhydramine is just the generic name for Benedryl an anti-histamine in fact the most powerful member of its family. if this were true then most people that use these drugs for allergies, etc. would show weight gain which they don't.  I will tell you that as an insomniac one drug that will cause you o sleep-eat is Ambien.  If you go to bed slightly hungry you will take the drug and fall asleep wake up in a trance like condition hit the fridge or start cooking.  My wife used to be afraid I would burn down the house because I would leave the stove or oven on.  She would get up and clean up everything at 3am.  Lets just say I don't use that anymore now that lunesta is on the market.

My brother was on medication for overactive thryroid for years so make sure youre keeping up to date your progress with the doc because they gave him too much and it switched him into underactive. To correct that they switched medications and he actually went back into overactive. But finally, his is undercontrol and he doesnt have to take medication anymore, just keep up regular checkups. It can cause weight gain and actually stopped his height at about 5'4 but it was worth it to make sure he was healthy. I just remember it being really scary for everyone in my family watching my brother's health go up and down like that so be sure to monitor closely with your doctor!

Remind those that make comments about your weight gain that it's due to the meds you've been on to help you get healthier. I know exactly how you feel! I have always been a size 4 until I got sick last October. I was on antibiotics and then steriods (Predisone is the worst!!!) and I've put on  weight. I try not to worry about what others think of me and my weight gain, I just remind myself that the weight can come back off!

Absolutely. When I was on lithium I was constantly hungry. I craved sweets all the time (which I normally don't do). I would have eaten my sneakers if someone doused them in chocolate. I gained at least 35 lbs. It also affected my thyroid which controls metabolism and that added to the weight gain. I'm still on Synthroid to correct that. They switched me to Lamictal - no weight gain. Lithium doesn't cause weight gain in everyone, but if it does for you, you'll continue to gain.

You need to eat a balanced diet and eat more than once a day. 3 times a day is what's suggested. Add more meats to your diet. medication is never an answer to weight problems. If you eat everything you want but don't gain weight, go see a Dr. there could be something else, like a medical conditon, causing the weight loss.

Almost every birth control method can have a side effect of weight gain.  Personally, out of all my friends you are on the pill or depo, I have not noticed any weight gain if there is.\n\nI would say don't worry about it.  If you do gain weight it will only be 5 to 10 pounds and most likely not noticable.\n\nYou could also ask about depo.  I have not experianced any cramping, weight gain or many periods for that matter.  I love it and it might be another solution you want to look into.\n\nGood luck!

Yep, I was on it for about 8 years, until they just changed me to toporal.  I took it for migraines, low blood pressure and a heart condition.  I took it only at night so I slept through the side effects, but had some noticeable weakness, fatigue and tiredness during the day I attributed to Inderal.  But, I didn't have a migraine during the entire time I was on it!

lots of people say it makes you gain weight it doesnt, what is does is it increases your appetite. so watch what you eat when you are on it.

Not in my experience and it also helps you gain weight

I think it varies.  I have been on efexor for a while now and not gained any weight, others have.  You just have to be aware when taking AD's that weight gain might be a problem and try to make sure you eat sensibly, it can be difficult when some of the side effects are connected to weight gain.  The problem is at a time when a person feels most worthless and hopeless the last thing they need is to feel they are going to put on ten stones as well.\nThe previous AD I took did cause me to gain a lot of weight, but I did lose it very quickly when I changed meds.

Yep, especially if you aren't getting any exercise. A little exercise can go a long way in preventing weight gain

Any time that you have a significant gain or loss from being on these types of meds, you need to be talking to your doctor. Generally your body becomes accustomed to the medications and adjusts accordingly. Most times the weight gain is early on in taking these meds,and over a period of time,the weight gain stops.  \n\nYou really shouldn't have waited until you gained 70 pounds though before seeking help.\n\nThere are plenty of other meds on the market that don't have as significant of side effects.\n\nAlso,have you changed your eating habits?  Have you become more tired from these meds?  Are you not getting as much exercise as before?\n\nAll  of these things factor in to gaining weight. It may be partially the medication,but could be combined with changes in your lifestyle too.\n\nI would strongly recommend seeing your doctor in regards to this and also trying to get to the bottom of why there has been such a significant change in your weight.\n\nGood luck to you,\n~Z~

Sure it can. Your changing your estrogen level and anytime you change your body's chemical make-up, weight gain can occur.

I was on that pill for awhile and I did gain a little weight. It wasnt a whole lot but it was like 5 to 10 pounds that fluctuated for awhile. Unfortunately, almost every pill out there has a side effect of weight gain. The shot is even worse. Every girl i know who has gone on the shot has gained like 15 pounds at least. I think the patch causes it too. So if you are on any of these things, just be careful about what you eat and be mindful of your weight and you should be fine.
