Weight Loss


Posted by Shelley Chambers ® , Jun 02,2001,20:37   Archive
Has anyone else experienced weight loss from medications? I absolutely do not eat anymore. I have lost 28 pounds, look great, but of course, still unhappy. I am surprised (KNOCK ON WOOD) that I haven't been sick because of it. I do not have an appetite.

Yes, but I'm not complaining. I may have lost 10 to 15 pounds over a two year period. I don't have as much of an appetite anymore but do still eat my meals, just not nearly as much anymore.

Shelley,
My weight loss has been about 10-15 lbs over a two year period--
much like Shirley mentioned. I am fortunate in that I am 5'8"
and now weigh 130#. Would not want to be any thinner and have the
opposite problem of most in our country trying to lose weight!! Your
weight loss may be a little extreme but if you look great, just enjoy!!

I've lost weight, too - about 10 pounds in the last year. I don't think it is the medication for me. I have a dry mouth (before I started taking meds) and Meige (jaw problems) and it is just too much trouble to eat, so I eat less than I did before.

Some meds. can make you loose or gain weight.
I lost a lot of weight when I was having problems
with swallowing, and when my jaw hurt, and when I was
depressed.
What dosage of Parsitan are you taking?

I take three Parsitan a day. I think that's 150. But this all started when I was on Artane and Valium. I was in a haze, to put it mildly.
