I have fought all my life due to thyroid disease - its not just a matter of consuming too much or not exercising enough!

A ruptured disk started weight gain, and drugs for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and arthritis have made it a constant battle.

I was diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism. I worked hard and lost weight only to gain more back 2 years later due to wrong medication dosage.

took depakote for a seizure disorder - gained 40 lbs from that. arthritis/spinal surgery makes it difficult to exercise. it hurts!

I used the Depo-prevara shots and gained 40 lbs in 4 months. One week a shirt would fit and the next week it was too tight. Scarey!

60 lbs in 18 mos. Rheumatoid Arthritis patient w/"fatty liver' from methotrexate + other RA Drugs. 600-800 calorie/day diet. I dont eat it!

I have PCOS and take meds to combat insulin resistance. I eat very little carbs, sugar, etc., but am still overweight and judged severely.

In my case it was definitely the meds. Every time I took them, my weight went up; every time I went off them, I immediately lost the weigh

My asthma meds don't help weight loss efforts. My sister has gained weight because of her anxiety & tendonitis meds.

After an accident I gained 100 lbs in 1 year. As long as I'm on the meds I need, it's been impossible to get the weight off.

I've taken several different types of medications that cause weight gain. Still am, as a matter of fact. I don't like it, but I can't stop.

Depo-Provera and every anti-depressant has caused a weight gain of 15-25 pounds each. Too bad it doesn't leave nearly as easily!

Medicine for depression have made me gain weight. Sometimes I just don't want 2 eat & the smell of food sometimes disgust me. still fat

car accident caused tumor on pituitary. still fat 33 yrs later. hormone hell.

I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia & FBSS I take LOTS of meds, but Prednisone is a "monster med" the sugar cravings are a nightmare. Meds are a MUS

I gained more than 100 lbs on an antidepressant. The med saved my life. Now I struggle to lose the weight I gained. It's difficult.

I have hypothyroidism, metabolic syndrome, as well as PCOS, all the medical disorders that make you gain weight and have trouble losing it!

Anti-psychotics are notorious for causing excessive amounts of weight gain. Scientists are trying to figure out why.

Some antibiotic said "take with bread if stomach is upset". I had to eat just about the whole loaf. Pounds were hard to get rid of after.

Insulin Resistant PCOS here.. gain 7 to 15 pounds each year since puberty... 1000-1200 calories a day 3-5 miles jog/week does no good...

I was on steroids for years to control a disease. Even strangers felt they cold comment on my weight!

Autoimmune disease and steroids have caused weight gain but not metabolic syndrome due to my diligence. Opinions are impossible to combat.
