minocycline cause weight gain

I started on the Prednisone yesterday. I am scared of the weight gain, but my Dr. assured me that he only wants me on for no more than 8 weeks and then wants to move me to the other medication. He knows I will gain weight and retain water, but he says it will all be temporary. That is hard to hear and absorb when you know how it will affect your life, even if it is only for 8 weeks. It will be very hard to get that weight back off.

Minocycline is one of the listed drugs that cause vitamin B12 malabsorption. Minocycline also has anti-thyroid effects. Long term treatment with minocycline (at least 100 mg/day) can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin, nails, bones, thyroid, teeth, palate, eye, heart valves. Thyroid cancer is frequently found with black thyroid syndrome (macroscopic black discolouration of the thyroid gland).

Just wonder if Cymbalta causes weight gain and what are the effects of tapering off?

Wellbutrin is the most speedy for the most people and the least likely to cause weight gain. The SNRI class of drugs targets serotonin, which can make you sedated and gain weight, but also affects norepinephrine receptors, and that's basically adrenaline. There are a lot of antidepressants out there and you'll get different effects from them and different side effects as well. Also know that drugs won't fix it -- they at best make it easier to live with. Therapy might fix it.

have you had your blood tested for a Thyroid panel? If so post those results and we can help. All sorts of hormones affect your mood and your weight gain.

Thyroid is also associated with mood including depression and anxiety.

I have heard rumors that so many anti-anxiety/anti-depressenants can do that.. but i also heard cymbalta usually does not cause weight gain. Did anyone have an experience where they still where able to lose weight on cymbalta? I dont understand why not, considering if you decrease your daily calorie intake and exercise the weight should technically be able to come off. I really hope this is this case because i am so dedicated to losing these few extra pounds haha.

I know that prenatals cause weight gain. I imagine if they are formulated similarly, they sure could. I never knew that until a dr visit, I was complaining about 5lbs that I gained and couldn't lose and the dr told me it the the rx prenatals, not to worry it would go away after stopping.

Certain medications like antidepressants cause weight gain. Late night snacking and poor sleep too can cause weight gain. Polycystic ovary too causes weight gain, hence has to be ruled out by an ultrasound of abdomen. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor and get investigated accordingly for this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Thanks for the info. I'm scheduled to see my dr in January. I eat the same basic things b/c I'm allergic to beef, fish, chicken, pretty much anything but pork. My meds haven't changed much. My dr is working on taking me off my anxiety/depression medication slowly. I have tried the logic of 6 small meals instead of only 1 large meal a day. I stopped that when the weight gain started. I think I'm gonna start a food journal cause as you said, watch the little things.

Yes Seroquel like all currently available antipsychotics can cause weight gain and the potential of diabetes. I did gain weight on Seroquel as I did with other antipsychotics.

Do you have a thyroid disorder? That could cause weight gain/inability to lose if you aren't being treated (or if being treated and your levels aren't optimized). I'm not familiar with the others you mentioned and don't know what kind of meds you might be on that could cause weight gain/retention.

Some make a person feel sluggish so they might not be as physically active which can cause weight gain. Some such as atypical antipsychotics (which can be used as mood stabilizers) and some other medications (how a person responds to this and in what rate varies from person to person) can cause metabolic changes that can lead to weight gain and in some situations diabetes so with medications like that its essential for a person to keep their psychiatrist updated on any sudden weight gain.
