[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you start a new medication? Don't want to scare you, but that is how my massive weight gain began when I went on antidepressants. [/quote]

Zyrtec did it for me. Not massive weight gain, but some, and I particularly noticed changes in my midsection when I was taking it every day. Apparently, this is a known potential side effect. I stopped taking it, and I stopped gaining weight without changing anything else.[/quote]

If you delve a little deeper you’ll find that the reason it causes weight gain is increased appetite. I have been on Zyrtec since my early 20s, I’m now 39. I’m 5 ft 2 115 pounds. I was surprised when I heard “Zyrtec makes you gain weight” so I did a bit of digging. [/quote]

Man it stinks to hear that just as it warms up enough that I'm already feeling the seasonal allergy symptoms! (Itchy/heavy eyes since Sunday.) I'm the same height and trying to get from 135 to 115, only halfway so far. Are other seasonal allergy meds similar?  [/quote]
