Can tylenol (acetaminophen) make you gain weight? i've lost since i quit taking it, or was it cause it was making me retain fluids?

Tylenol (acetaminophen) wt. gain: Tylenol (acetaminophen) isn't associated with gain. There have been rare reports of peripheral edema ( swelling of lower extremities) in association with intravenous usage.

No weight gain: Unfortunately, doctors often do not address this when prescribing medicine, despite weight gain being very troubling for the many patients. All drugs have side effects, and weight gain is common to many drugs. However, there is no literature to support that tylenol (acetaminophen) has any significant influence on weight.
