Why do certain medications increase you appetite and increase weight gain?

358 views

I was on a few medications last year and gained a significant amount of weight even though I didn’t necessarily feel more hungry. What causes this?

Side note: if someone could explain why I get the munchies after smoking weed as well, that would be great.

When observing weight gain you should consider more than just medication. For example. Some medication needs to be taken after a meal and before going to bed so that on its own is a recipe for disaster since you are more prone to eat and go straight so sleep(body doesnt have the time to use all the ingested energy and it stores it as fat. I hope Ingave a better understanding of how medication and life around it affects us.
