Zeugma ~ I've put on weight and the only thing I can think of is the fact that I started taking the benzodiazpine alprazolam (Xanax). I started taking it to help me with sleep, taking three 0.25 mg pills at night and I soon found myself needing more to get more sleep. Could this in fact be the cause of my weight gain ?
I do feel more hungry when I get up after taking this also but my doctor says that that is not a side effect nor is the raised prolactin level from it (note: my breast are not effected in any way it's just my weight)
Sorry if I'm just not understanding this, this stuff is a little over my head !!!P.S. ~ Thanks everyone else for your replay too... :-)
