Re: linda (# 1)
I have been gaining weight since taking this medication
.
To crazy cat lady:
I am a retired nurse. I weigh myself every morning. This drug causes weight gain for me. It also makes my tinnitus
get more pronounced.
Re: Tams (# 10)
Yes I agree I feel hungry all the time. Also I have gain weight I am going to have my doctor change my med to something else that works no one wants to put on extra pounds.
I’ve been taking this medication regularly for about 5 months and I’ve gained weight especially in my face chin. This weight gain is disproportionate to my body.
I've also have been on methocarbamol 4 about 5 mos and went from 128 to 132 so I think it does cause weight gain.
Re: SR (# 9)
Same as. I stopped taking and I have lost the weight
I think it does make u gain weight.
I started taken them and my laying around at times hasn't changed before and after taken them
I weighed 155 and after 3 weeks ive gained 15lbs. And i never gain weight
Re: Verwon (# 4)
I agree and disagree from not being active so much may cause weight gain yet since I started taking methocarbamol 750 mg I seem to be putting on the weight rapidly which I have never had a problem with so I do believe methcarmol does make one gain weight

Re: Brit (# 20)

Re: linda (# 1)
Me 2 ,,I have been gaining as well Mia!??
linda (# 1)- Weight gain and high cholesterol are not side effects of this medication. She should always read the printed information that come with her prescriptions after each refill. In case of any changes or additions that have been added to drug reactions or interactions. Weight gain can be caused by getting older,thyroid imbalance, menopause,etc. Also high cholesterol is usually inherited by family.My spouses parents both have high cholesterol. My spouse does as well. Also discussing these things with your physician is recommended. A lot of even healthy foods have cholesterol (nuts). Do to pandemic and not moving around and going out as much as you previously did or increase in more food than normal bc your home more can be a cause as well. As a nurse these are just some of the things I would look into. This is just a basic list. I hope this helps.
