Weight Gain While Taking Oxybutyn (Top voted first)

Updated

Hello I've been taking oxybutyn for about seven months and have put on about thirty pounds!!!! I just recently found out it can cause weight gain and got really concerned!!! I had weight loss surgery and lost 140 pounds and have not changed my eating habits at all!! I'm really upset and want to just stop taking the medicine!!! Will the weight gain go away on its own or will I have to struggle to lose it?

Hello, Paula! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having.

Rapid weight gain can be a side effect of this medication, as reported by the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and urinary retention.

And yes, it should slowly go away, once you stop taking the medication.

Are you on any other medications?
