Has Anyone Else Had Problems With Weight Gain!
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question ๐Ÿ’ญ

I am on Carbidopa-levodopa, Gabapentin and Memantine. I am having a problem with weight gain and food cravings. I have had cravings for things I donโ€™t even like. Anyone else having this!

Quite the opposite. Iโ€™ve lost 60# since diagnosis.

I'm a roly poly ๐Ÿ™„ who used to be a skinny minny. I made a cake...I ate the cake. Two days later I was nauseous and ate half an English muffin and barely got it down. My appetite is not consistent and if I do feel like eating it is definitely not the best choice. I'm mindful of my weight...so I used a small fork for the cake all 3 times ๐Ÿ˜ I made steak for dinner ( which I love) and barely ate any. The only thing that seems appealing are carbohydrates. I am not really gaining any weight but I am not losing any either ๐Ÿ˜‘ my husband teases me that I never get the 'good ' side effects...less weight or more sex ๐Ÿค” he's not wrong ๐Ÿ˜†

I am having the opposite issue. Weight loss and no appetite.
