Unfortunately fibro does cause weight gain and I have found out that some of my meds for treating it also causes weight so I can't win

NinaMary jackson is right being less mobile doesn't help because you are not burning off calories you take in so you gain weight but i don't think Fibro itself causes weight gain

Unfortunately it is one of the many side effects of these drugs xx

From the beginning I was only taking the lowest dose of Xanax to sleep, a beta blocker and 1/2 of a muscle relaxer, then Wellbutrin was added when I decided to try to quit smoking. I started gaining weight before the Wellbutrin. I have gained at least 40 pounds since being diagnosed, so you tell me if it's the fibro or the medication. I say it's the fibro, but I don't know for sure.
