Anti-biotics & weight gain/loss

[CaterGator]

Does anyone know if taking antibiotics effects weight at all?

[EBONY POETESS]

i noticed that when i take anitbiotics or antihistamines like bennadryl with phen my appetite increases
even if i take them far apart
must the chemical balance of the meds

[CaterGator]

That rings a bell. Was also wondering about water gain. Thanks, Fit.

I have been taking antibiotics for acne (Minocycline). I don't take them for more than a week at a time but in the past week of taking them I have put on water weight...probably 2-3 lbs.

New here...but thought I'd sound in on this one, if thats ok?

I'm taking a tetracycline based product for acne as well and have been wondering about any possible interactions with phen. I have yet to begin the phen...will start next week.

I'm assuming you can take phentermine with tetracycline??? I have found nothing to indicate otherwise.

Should I ask my pharmacist just in case? Or has anyone on here taken the two in combination?

THanks.

Does anyone know if antibiotics make you a grumpy, exhausted b|tch? I'm on 2 antibiotics right now and I'm MISERABLE. In the past I don't think I was like this though.

Well.. the only thing I'm sure of about antibiotics is that they can make you constipated. They have a tendancy to kill even the good bacteria in your body. I always make sure to drink more water and eat yogurt while I'm taking the antibiotics. The active cultures in the yogurt itself can help replace the good bacteria. I don't know if this applies in this case, but its the only thing that comes to mind

I was on 2 antibiotics, and TOM....I was an emotional wreck. Mad, sad, upset, happy....I would be laughing one min, crying the next. Things are better now...and I'm off the meds.

Gumb: That's ME!! *demonic laughter* Girl, gimme a hug *blows nose*

AHHHHHH!!! 3 more days 3 more days 3 more days....

You girls are hilarious! LOMA--
Hey *****--GORGEOUS boxer! I have 2 Rotts myself!

OK, so I don't think the meds are making me grumpy--but I AM PMS, which definitely makes me self-riteous and entitled (LOL)...The meds DO work well for middle-aged acne, BTW. I'm NOT constipated. Ithink it must be the incredible HUMIDITY that's killing me!

Missus How are you woman? Why dont I see you at our weekly thread much lately?

Cater - THANKS!! He was a really good dog. My dad has always had boxers, but he is by far the best looking one. My uncle has had 2 rotts, sweetest girls ever. I love those dogs!

I have also been taking minocylcine for my acne as well (along with topical retin-a, bencycline, and now a bleaching cream for the spots-good grief!!) I was taking the minocycline for a little over a month before starting the phen, and I have been okay-I get hungrier now later at night-but I think its cuz I'm getting used to the phen. The only thing I remember with the minocycline was that I would get extreme headaches while in the sun-but that was before the phen. Do you only take yours 1 week at a time?
