| Re: BP meds and weight gain
Hiya and welcome to the board!
A really difficult one to answer as everyone's reaction to every drug is different so it's hard to say what will and won't make you gain weight, plus I understand that the dose you're on affects the weight gain too. I've had no weight gain with lithium (although it is a common side effect), but Mirtazipine (anti-d) saw me go up three dress sizes in 8 weeks - hideous.
I think all you can do is proceed with caution - tell the doc your concerns, then they can select a med that doesn't always pile on the pounds, maybe start you off on a low dose and see how it goes from there.
Hope it goes well for you
