I take xanax,same dose,sometimes more if I have a panic attack in the middle of the night.I thought I read you have been going to the gym more.If so,muscle weight gain,which is good.I've lost tons of weight,since my Mom passed.I gained 5 pounds,only because I ate a thing of ice cream 4 nights in a row before bedtime.Stopped doing that weight gone again.Everyone responds differently to meds,some lose,some gain.But with that dose,I really don't think its that.Is weight changes even a side effect of xanax,not sure.Can I ask,How much do you weigh,and how tall are you? God Bless,Jen
Write down the amounts of each food you eat every day, and count the calories for a few weeks. It is probable that you are just eating more, now that you are relaxed.
You said that you are going to the gym less frequently? That may have something to do with it in my opinion. Have you been eating more, or have had a change in your diet?
The only thing I notice is after I take it and start to relax I get hungry and eat. So I guess if I took it on a regular basis I would gain weight.
