Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 <p>I'm trying to figure out if my rapid weight gain is from taking MTX. I have been on this since Feb. of this year. In 3 months I gained 6lbs going up from 4 pills to 6 pills. Then going from 6 pills to 8 pills I have gained 6 more lbs in 4 weeks. I called my doc's office and once again they said there is no way it has anything to do with the meds. I have been the same weight for the past 10 years, give or take a few lbs here or there. I have gone up 2 pants sizes in the past month. I had every blood work taken and nothing shows why I would gain 12 lbs in the past 4 months. They tried to tell me I was eating more, not moving around as much, and getting older. I'm 35 and I'm not eating more, I am moving around just the same as I have been. My mom is on the same med and she has noticed the same kind of rapid weight gain. They did all the same tests and everything came back normal too. I looked on the web and read lots about how people gained weight with MTX. Has anyone in this group experience the same as me? I know some people lose weight but I'm gaining weight. </p> <p>Thanks,<br> Cheli<br> </p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
