Yes crash&burn, some medications do cause us to gain weight. I've been fighting the extra pounds for a couple of years now, but I'm willing to accept it because I would rather be alive and feeling somewhat stable than skinny and dead.

I think if I started exercising on a regular basis it might help me. I'm older, so my metabolism has changed and some of our reactions to medication is due to our metabolism.

Not everyone will gain a lot of weight and your doctor is probably the best person to consult with if you are concerned.
