surprising causes of your weight gain




 

3.Antidepressants
An unfortunate side effect from some antidepressants is weight gain. Talk to your doctor about making changes to your treatment plan if you think your antidepressant is causing weight gain. But never stop or change your medication on your own. Realize that some people experience weight gain after beginning drug treatment simply because they’re feeling better, which leads to a better appetite. Also, depression itself can cause changes in weight.

 

4.Steroids
Anti-inflammatory steroid medications like prednisone are notorious for causing weight gain. Fluid retention and increased appetite are the main reasons. Some people may also see a temporary change in where their body holds fat while taking steroids — to places like the face, the belly, or the back of the neck. If you’ve taken steroids for more than a week, don’t stop them abruptly. That can lead to serious problems. Check with your doctor first.
