Exercise
no, they are the same drug just different release profile.
In the two years since I began taking Tegretol, I have gained nearly two stone; but I am also on HRT, which I believe can also make one prone to weight-gain. So I think with me it is a combination.
Yes... it's supposed to. But in my son's case he never did.
Yes, many but ask your doctor.
Tell the doctor immediately if you experience weight gain. I had this happen to me with Seroquel.
yes
mass gainer
With a little intelligent bodybuilding training, you can build muscle mass and gain weight fast.
Seroquel is definitely the weight gainer. I've been on and off Depakote before with very little weight fluctuation, however with Seroquel I had not only a huge appetite that forced me to eat more, but I put on 20lbs in 2 weeks! I was really not into Seroquel at first, but it really did help with my mania.
It's the depakote that causes weight gain! Have your doctor find something else to replace it.
Depakote will make you gain weight. watch out for your white cell count in your blood ,and damage to the liver. Over all I have been on Depakote for ten years and have gained 40 pounds after having brain surgery. I want to get off of it, but tried other medications, and they sucked.I get burning in my stomach and wish there was a way to diet , for everytime you take the pill it makes your stomach burn.
