233622 tn?1279334905 I have been off of Betaseron for about 2 weeks now and my eyes are back to being very uncomfortable. Before I started Avonex eye pressure and pain was a huge problem. Now it is is starting again.
338416 tn?1420045702 re taking your Coumadin for the positive serology for a positive serology of aCL IgG/IgM and Reynauds and taking Betaseron for your MS (even prophylactically while waiting for a diagnosis) that it can cause a little anxiety. It's one medication counteracting another. I would be concerned too. Are you going to talk to your doctor about this?
1033596 tn?1252519593 I don't want to play doctor here or anything, but I was in a similar situation for several years. My apartment got broken into, then I moved home, and then my house literally got hit by lightening. I started taking lexapro for the Post-Traumatic Stress. I'd always been a bit of a snacker and stress-eater, but I a burdensome amount of weight from it. I asked my doctor about other alternatives to the Lexapro, and she suggested Welbutrin.
Avatar f tn When I was taking Prozac I didnt gain weight.Paxcel made me gain some though.
338416 tn?1420045702 t until today that I was able to stretch out my right leg enough to gain a little more mobility. And I can breathe with no pain. So things are a little better today. So I took my temperature Friday, and found it was 99.5°. Low-grade, but still enough to set off symptoms. I've been titrating up on Betaseron, and it's supposed to cause flu-like symptoms, but not all the time.
Avatar f tn How long did it take people to gain weight, if any on Methimazole. I want to gain weight and nothing has happened. I've been on it for about a month now.
Avatar f tn This is the time in your life more than ever that you should be eating healthy and exercising regularly. Expect to gain weight ; that is healthy and necessary for most women, but if the gain happens too quickly you MUST Work with your OB to ensure that you are as healthy as possible. I would really listen to Alaysha's advice personally.. She's a model and one of the most stunning pregnant women I've ever seen, so I'd follow her rules for healthy weight gain personally lol.
Avatar m tn I have taken quite a bit of different antibiotics back in May. I have stopped taking it a about 3 weeks ago, maybe longer and noticed that I have a hard time gaining weight now. I have had bad anxiety and depression as well recently which may have caused my appetite to go down drastically but when it comes back I start to eat a lot and it doesn't seem like I can gain weight like I used too.
1025701 tn?1257172434 I was put into the secondary progressive group and am not sure what they will put me on. I heard copaxane makes you gain weight and leaves hard bumps on your legs. Vain, yes I know. So if anyone would be so kind as to share their experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.
Avatar n tn Keep in mind you could gain weight on Zoloft or any ssri, and your weight gain on Paxil has been minimal -- I gained 50 pounds over several years on it. And be careful going off it, it can be difficult. Do it slowly and carefully.
Avatar f tn SSRIs are notorious for weight gain, but Prozac has less of a weight gain potential (compared to say Paxil). Your weight gain may be natural - over the course of 20 years. Or it may be the result of the Prozac. But 2-3 pounds per year to gain from an SSRI is not very much. I was on Lexapro for 2-3 years and gained nearly 40 pounds in that time.
Avatar f tn It does make sense to take Abilify during the day if its keeping a person awake at night as it can be activating. If not it won't make a difference as regards weight gain. Abilify is the least likely out of the antipsychotics to cause weight gain. I have posted about the antipsychotics in development that won't do this but they still are not approved medications yet. If you were diagnosed with bipolar with psychotic features you need an antipsychotic.
Avatar n tn I read some articles about this just yesterday and was surprised, for I take Lantus and have noticed no weight gain at all. So this could be a factor. However, a change in metabolism in middle age probably is the real culprit, along with possibly a slower metabolism because you are not eating. Exercise should help both problems. Start walking! Park your car further from the door, take stairs instead of elevators, etc. Or use your lunch hour to do some mild exercise right in your office.
Avatar f tn Look up weight gain according to BMI and it will give you a good idea on the amount of weight you should gain according to your body type.
Avatar f tn at first it was just like spotting but now its aot like a period (as of today). I am on betaseron and I didn't know if it could mess with your period like tha or make your breasts sore.. (fatigue is a normal ms symptom tho so that doesn't concern me except its been worse lately). Plus.. I have been noticing that its harder for me 2 hold it when I have to pee and smetimes it leaks (which again could be ms related). I'm just worried and really can't do a test yet..
