In reply to weight gain in general on meds., posted by Cin on February 27, 2001, at 12:21:15
Cin ... the prednisone wt gain is not just water. It is much more complex. muscles get smaller & weaker, the ratio of lean muscle mass to fat is changed. This is hormonal /metabolic.
The AD & SSRI wt gain is not the same .... The metabolic mechanism has not been worked out yet.
The side effects of effexor dose increase is not as severe or long lasting for most folks as the initial startup effects
