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

This topic may be kinda old, but it might be a good time to ask this: has anyone that's posted noticed a downside to everything? Losing weight and "looking good" is great for a certain time, but when does it start to turn negative?

I got into cocaine more than I should have for the purpose of losing weight. Because of my overuse, I have been battling panic attacks, mild claustrophobia in crowds, and an even more unsure sense of myself and my outward image around others. I may LOOK good, but all the panic and anxiety just cancels it all out, and makes me want to stay at home. Less is definately best, and I've learned for every high there is most certainly a low to be considered.
 
Any drug that I end up abusing cause's wait fluctuation because I neglect to eat how I should be to stay fit, one of the more alarming changes in weight tho would be from an MDMA addiction in my early teens, eating multiple pills every day is never good.
 
Speed binges in college - being a pretty stocky guy by nature, I wound up with stretch marks on my stomach from losing and gaining weight so many damn times.

These days, I find I lose a little weight through kratom use, as I'll fast for twelve hours before dosing and then won't eat for a day.

Heavy weed use has in the past led to quite heavy weight gain, from indulging pizza and sugar cravings. Dominos should pay me a goddamn dividend.
 
I've lost 20 lbs on a low dose of methadone.

Also other things going on in my life that could have impacted this, however. Opiates made me gain weight, typically (sweet tooth), however now it seems the opposite.
 
heroin and after heroin treatment (subutex)

went down to 48 kilos on methadone


since im clean i put on 8 kilos (been about 3 months)
 
The only things i would have to say that have caused noticeable changes in my weight , were when i was an alcohol/coke addict lost about 20 lbs in 2 weeks . and a few meth binges i went on but i couldnt stand the smell of the sweat all the time so i had to stop ..

I lost 20 pounds on the Stem-fast diet :D (crack)
ROTFLMAO!!


As for my 2 cents, methadone made me fat and coke made me skinny.

also low doses of opiates will make u gain weight while higher doses and stronger opiates will make u lose weight.

I respectfully disagree. High and low doses of 'done have made everyone I know gain weight.

cocaine, adderall, and hydromorphone definitely all decreased my appetite and made me lose weight. weed made my weight fluctuate
Good posting^
 
oh i should also say that even on 60 mg of oxy per day the moment i made the change to oxycontin my appetite took a nose dive so i ended up loseing more weight and when i got upped to 80mg i went upstairs and noticed im now sitting at 215 i was just 230 about 2-3 weeks ago i also drink about 10-12 bottles of water a day . so factor in how much of that would be water weight .. opiates do make you lose weight.
