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

weed suppresses my appetite on some occasions, sometimes weeks on end. ive smoked daily for the last 2 weeks or so (maybe a day or two off) and have not eaten very well. then on the flipside it will make me eat until my stomach is bulging out
 
Methandrostenolone caused alarming changes in my weight, I gained 8kg's in 6weeks, that’s a 10% inc in weight. But since its a 17aa I never took it again as its hepatoxic and drastically reduces LH levels.
 
My fiance packed on the pounds while on Effexor a few years ago. Nasty stuff... for her at least.
 
Wtf, opiates have made you guys lose weight?

Well it seems mainly you guys have been doing oxycodone... but with experience in the morphine-based drugs (morphine, H, etc.), munchies hardcore.

Gained 40lbs+ on them.

Also, stimulants, while at first they make you lose weight, once you stop you gain the weight back and then some. Sucks.

Meth... couldn't even tell the difference until it was way too late. My normal weight is around 150-155lbs, and by the time I was hospitalized, I was down to about 90lbs. It took me almost 9 months to get back up to 140lbs. Now two years later ( i had a 4-month relapse which lost some poundage again ) I'm back to normal.

It wasn't as much the lifestyle for me as it was the drug. I had food around me all the time - I had developed a bit of cleptomania - it was just that I didn't want to eat. I'd forget about it for days until I'd finally force-feed myself just to keep moving. I had a daily intake of about 7 multivitamins a day, and about 500-1000 calories per week. Not good

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

True. When I first started with hydrocodone i gained a few pounds but now on my oxy binge i went from 157 to 147.

Last year i abused Adderall, Ritalin, and MDMA and dropped from 197 to 145 in 3 months. Now it's just oxy. i haven't dropped any lower than 147 though with Oxy in the past 4 months. I'm 5'10, Male
 
cold turkey benzo withdrawal - consumed nearly adequate calories but was burning up all day and night long, must have lost 20-30 lbs in a month.

Weed helps you gain weight for a while but if you use it a daily you'll more than likely lose weight.
 
if i do amphetamines for one night eg. friday.( usually only a gram of storng phet paste).
i usually do not eat til sunday night.

cocaine isnt as bad imo as phet for reducing hunger, but with coke the binge seems to last longer (5-6 days).
 
Ecstasy made me lose about 15 lbs.
Cocaine has made me lose about 5lbs.
But thats in the past lol now i do both
but the weed keeps me at a healthy weight range.
 
Lets see....

When I was 17 I weighed 116 (skinny, but not quite underweight, even for my height - 5'6") and I smoked tons of pot every day. In fact, I smoked so much weed, that I couldn't actually afford to smoke enough to make me hungry. I also was more active and less lazy when I smoked (go figure).

When i started having panic attacks from the weed I quit, and after a year of not smoking and drinking alcohol more and more, I got up to 140, where I'm still at now. Some of it was muscle mass from a job I had, but a lot of it is still just weight :\. I really wish I could still smoke without getting freaked out, it was really good for my mental/physical health.
 
I lost a substantial amount of weight when I was on Adderall...after I got off, I gained back at least 40 pounds. Woooowwww.
 
I've gained about 30lbs over the past year. Part of that is probably because I'm 17 and still growing and part of it is because i smoke a lot of weed and I'm kinda chubby from all the munches.
 
Meth, no joke!!!!! i swear it feels and looks like you lose pounds per day during a binge but i broke free for a while and currently doing good so all smiles this way :)
 
I didn't read all 119 posts but I'm sure it's been said over and over...METH!

50lbs over a 3 month period. At the end I weighed less than I did in high school, 13 years ago.
