Question 3

does perfectil plus vitamin have any side effects on weight gain?!

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Normal, healthy people in the developed world are usually not vitamin deficient, but can take a daily vitamin with minerals supplement just to make sure they get some vitamins and minerals that might not be in their diet if they don't have a very varied diet.

started taking paxil (paroxetine) for severe panic attacks and ibs symptoms...concerned about side effects and weight gain. will i definitely gain weight on paxil (paroxetine)?

Accepted Answer

I am afraid so: But there re otherssri without an effect on weight.  Paxil (paroxetine) is very good for anxiety and panic attacks because it acts relatively quickly but other agents are just as good, they just take a little longer.  No pill is good for everybody and some experimentation is in order.

Are you refering to: Periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride) ? Periactin (cyproheptadine hydrochloride) can cause weight gain by increasing appetite .

Question 9

i will take this medicine for 3 weeks.it may cause of weight gain .how much time will be taken to reduce the side effects of omnacortil?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The weight gain is mostly from increased appetite.  Whatever you have eaten extra , you will need to cut back by the same.   Your metabolism will also favor fat instead of muscle production, thus even getting back to the same weight would still net you extra fat unless you do muscle training exercises to bulk yourself backup.
