It's no secret that certain prescription drugs definitely result in unwanted weight gain -- I put on 60 pounds in six weeks once. It came off easily once I demanded that my physician address the issue and take it seriously. Why treat a serious disease in such a way that one doesn't care about nutrition or longevity?
While we at Slashfood aren't here to give medical advice, we can speak from our own experiences. Based on the link above, the best ways to combat weight gain that is a side effect of a prescription medication are to: 1) drink lots of water, 2) try, try, try to avoid bad fats, and 3) go easy on carbohydrates that provide little nutritional value. As always, you are in charge of your body and what goes into it.

I feel that it has just helped with the cravings that I have and just not eat as much and still feel good. As with any vitamin always check with your doctor first.
