OK does mirapex cause weight gain as a rare side effect of some sort? I mean, I am already dealing with the early pregnancy symptoms which are "rare & unusual" and have heard about hair loss as well.
Just wondering. I don't seem to be eating more but my weight is going up bit by bit!

Course, every med can cause just about anything so if that's what you're experiening, it's probably one of the meds.
Maybe it's just FM as I know that messes with weight.
The change in set-point is why smoking causes people to lose weight or maintain a lower weight than if they didn't smoke. Once they stop, their set-point automatically resets to where it would normally be. Same thing with diet pills.
Some meds like Elavil and prednisone are nortorious for weight gain as they move the set-point higher. Your body interrupts that as needing to eat so you're hungrier.
