Can vivitrol cause weight gain or weight loss?

I have seen many people go through various treatments in my life. Changes in weight are very common when your body is adjusting to such strong medications. Don't worry too much, with time and a steady daily routine, your body will find its balance again.

Weight changes on Vivitrol can go either way depending on individual lifestyle and metabolic shifts. Since this is a specialized prescription medication, your prescribing psychiatrist or doctor is the absolute best person to guide you on managing these side effects.

I had severe nausea and a complete loss of appetite on this medication, which led to sudden weight loss and weakness. It can be quite hard on the body. Please stay in close touch with your healthcare provider to monitor your vitals regularly.

I completely understand how stressful it is to watch your body change while dealing with this treatment. It is an emotional rollercoaster. Please be gentle with yourself; your recovery and mental peace are far more important than a few kilos up or down.
