I have accepted some weight gain [about 30 lbs] from my meds to gain better pain control is a trade off I am willing to make. It would be better if doctors talked about this more. I have watched my wife give up ADs that work well and improve our relationship because she gains weight. Knowing she will create problems in our marriage she still chooses to go off the AD. I know that it would help my wife to have meds balanced to eliminate the big weight gain.
