Does baclofen cause weight gain?

I actually started baclofen last month and I swear I feel like I've gained a couple of kilos already. Is anyone else also experiencing this or is it just my lack of exercise? It is making me quite worried to be honest.

Beta, at my age, I have taken many such medicines for back stiffness. A little bit of weight gain can happen because your body becomes less active when you are in pain. Don't worry too much, once you recover and start moving again, the weight will go away.

Humare yahan toh log kehte hain ki thodi bhook badh jati hai is dawa se. Try to eat home-cooked simple meals and don't eat heavy food at night. Take care of your health, rest everything will be fine with time.

My sister told me to drink warm water with lemon in the morning to control the weight gain from medicines. It helps with digestion, but honestly, you must discuss this with your physician. They know your health history best and can guide you correctly.

I have thyroid issues so my weight fluctuates like crazy, and new medicines always make me cautious. If you are noticing sudden weight gain after starting baclofen, it's best to get your routine blood tests and thyroid levels checked, then show the reports to your doctor.

I am supposed to start this medicine from next week and I am a bit scared about the side effects. Does the weight gain happen immediately, or does it take a few weeks? I would really appreciate if someone could share their experience.

As someone managing diabetes, I must tell you that some medications can slow down your metabolism or make you feel hungry. If baclofen is doing that, you have to be very careful with your diet. Avoid sugary snacks and talk to your doctor about this side effect.

I completely understand how frustrating it is to see the scale go up when you are already dealing with pain. It really messed with my mental health when I felt bloated all the time on this medication. Please be gentle with yourself, your recovery is more important right now.

Any sudden weight change while on prescription medicines should not be ignored. It could be water retention or something else entirely. Better to get a professional checkup and confirm with your doctor if it's safe to continue.
