Question:
About xanax??
has anyone taken this medication long term and gained weight from it?
Answers:
In the clinical trials for Xanax, 2.7% of all patients taking Xanax reported weight gain. So did 2.7% of all patients taking a placebo.
Another 2.3% reported weight loss. Of those taking the placebo, 3.0% reported weight loss.
It doesn't sound like the medicine itself causes weight loss or weight gain. However, you're taking Xanax because you're experiencing anxiety.
If your anxiety keeps you from cooking a decent meal, or sitting down and eating it when you're done, it's going to make a difference when your experience less anxiety, right?
Our bodies are pretty good at taking care of our selves. According to medical research, any weight loss or gain you experience from changes in what you eat should be less than 10% of your baseline weight, and you'll automatically start heading back to your baseline weight after six to twelve months, even if you don't want to.
