What drug(s) have caused you alarming changes in your weight

Its weird that 2yrs ago when I was into Meth for a year. I stayed steidy at 162lbs. When I went into rehab they almost didn't believe I had a problem.
I told them that it was weird that when I got high I loved to cook. Then I loved to eat what I cooked. =D
I don't know, but I'm on Pain Management for Oxy's and Norco now, and still Eat alot, But I also drink alot of Gateraide so I don't plug up. And I'm still at 162lbs.
I guess thats were my body wants to stay (Weird)
 
Wow, reading this thread makes me think a lot of stimulant users may be anorexic by the way they are so pleased by the sudden weight loss.

I've known people keep their weight through every drug you have heard of, a lot of it is mental.
 
I get some bad opiate munchies. After a night of heroin IV'd I would top off the evening with a pint of ice cream. Now on methadone I love 3-4 bowls of cereal and other shit, brownies, cookies, candy whatevers around lol. Daily. Definite sweet tooth, I love my sweets. Haven't gained much weight at all though. 6' even, 175lb, 22 years old. Been that height/weight for 2+ years. Just a high metabolism.

Helps though that, since I lost my car due to my DUI, I have a bike that I ride daily to the train and throughout the city to the methadone clinic and back. I've grown to love and cherish the peaceful ride through a deserted Atlanta at 5:30 in the morning. No cars or people everywhere with the hustlebustle. Just empty streets and me cruising through them. It's an amazingly calming way to start my day.
 
lost alot of weight with the vices of opiates and cocaine. Gained alot of weight from this bipolar med named lamictal.
 
Zyprexa caused me to gain about 55 pounds. When I first started on it, I gained about 25 pounds in week and a half, I was, however also on Remeron at the time, which really didn't help things.
 
meth made me lose a lot of weight, as did coke....heroin made me gain weight as did marijuana
 
a few years ago there was these very very high purity meth pills around, sold as fake ecstasy where im from (south east asia), i could loose up to 5 kilos in a night the impact on the body was so heavy, when u stopped ud put it on quickly tho, when we took to crushing them up to be snorted one pill could last us a whole day or more, i dropped from 78 kilos to 60 over a few weeks of nearly everyday use. theres never been anything like that since and thank god too! went into psychosis coz of those pills! when i would smoke ice once a week id stay around 70 to 75.
i stopped my heavy speed use about 4 to 6 months ago and have been enjoying alchohol alot! drinking beer everyday! went up 85 kilos in a couple of months so id say alchohol helps me put on weight the most over a long period of time, pigging out when stoned on some good weed puts on weight in like a day but it goes quickly too.
 
Remeron, trazodone, seroquel, depakote all made me gain weight...esp the remeron jesus, i put on like 30 lbs with that stuff...of course weed also doesn't help for appetite suppression :-)

oh man methadone (combined with smoking;) )has given me the worst sweet tooth of any drug i have ever encountered. some of the people at my clinic came in at like 150 and a year or 2 later are 250 or 300 lbs. on the other side i went from 150 to 115 in 3 months from I.V.ing yola. needless to say i looked sick.
 
I was scripted Adderall the summer before my freshman year of college. I didn't gain the expected "freshman 15," but instead lost that much - and wasn't even abusing the script. Once I hit 100 pounds (I'm 5'2'' and female), I started trading my friends my adderall for bud, and I evened out.
 
oxy, cocaine and crack i was on and off the coke randomly upto week long binges somtimes till i ran outa cash but the oxy has been for 4 years straight and would be most to blame.
 
All my life, I've been just slightly overweight.
Lately, people have been alarmed at how skinny I am.

years and years of cocaine use, and I never lost an ounce.
Three months on heroin, and I lost 40lbs. My tits went from a 36DD to a 34B.

Sad :(
 
depakoate made me feel and looke like a big fat fuck. 6'2 225lbs.

But adderall took it away. Now I am a very good looking dude. Lost about 20lbs in a year and a half. Course I am taking about 40mgXR to 70mg XR/day. I pretty much force myself to eat so I don't get meth faced or anything.
damn I'm good looking.
 
Weed has made my weight fluctuate repeatedly over the years. During a couple months of 24/7 stoned I could gain around 30lbs... I'd stop smoking for a few months due to school and drop it all... over and over again. This X-mas break was particularly disgusting; I gained 20lbs over 3 weeks.
 
Depakote made me gain 30lbs in around 3 weeks. I looked like fuckin chipmunk because my face got so fat. I COULD NOT feel full on that drug, it was really strange. I would just never feel satisfied, no matter how much I ate, and thus I ended up eating all the time. I have never put on fat before in my life either, then I put on 30lbs in 3 weeks, then I went off it and lost it all in a month. It was bizarre.

Not to be a hater or anything, but amphetamines have the ability to make people think they are better looking than they really are. I have met a few methheads who think they are the greatest looking thing on this green Earth.Complete with lithium pick marks and all.
