Medications that Cause Weight Gain?

Is it hard to believe that many medications could cause weight gain? When the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) has two pages of side effects for most drugs, is it no wonder that weight gain would be one of them? If you didn't know, the medications you are taking may be hurting you more than helping - in many ways. While some are very necessary and maybe your ailment or problem is the exception, too often most of us are victims of the 'over-prescribed.'

One of my friends who is a physician - a Radiation Oncologist - agrees that most medical doctors have one hand on the prescription pad and one on the door, meaning their so busy it's what drug is needed for this problem and on to the next patient. You really have to be careful about what it is you're taking and whether it is actually necessary.

Weight gain is just one of many side effects of many drugs, and if you're not sure why you've put on an extra 10 or more pounds, then also look at what medications you might be taking.
