Does ativan cause weight gain?

When you are relaxed on medicines like Ativan, you might feel a boost in your appetite, which can lead to overeating. I suggest keeping healthy, fiber-rich vegetarian options like roasted chana or cucumber slices ready so you don't consume unnecessary calories during the day.

Managing PCOS makes me very cautious about any medication that might affect weight. Ativan is usually for short-term use, so any weight change is likely just water retention or temporary lifestyle changes. It's best to discuss your fears openly with your doctor.

I took Ativan for a brief period during a stressful family event. It didn't make me gain weight directly, but it definitely made me sleep like a baby, so I was barely moving! Just try to stay active during your waking hours and you will be completely fine.

In our times, we focused on herbal teas like chamomile to calm the mind and avoid heavy pills. If you must take Ativan, do so under strict guidance of your doctor. To prevent sluggishness, try drinking warm lemon-water in the morning to keep your digestion active.
