Could Weight Gain Be Due To Dilaudid?
I have severe chronic back pain and I m seeing a pain management dr. The meds I m on now I think have caused a big jump in my weight! I m on the generic for Dilaudid 8 mg three times a day. And the generic for Exalgo ER 16 mg once at bedtime. Since being on these meds I ve gained 15 lbs. And that s on the low side. Before this combo of meds I was on Opana 10 mg 4 times a day. I gained a little weight on those also. Is there any good pain meds that don t cause weight gain? I just feel like a big fat pig!!! I m up almost 20 lbs. None of my clothes fit. Even my fat clothes don t fit. I really need help!

HI
Well come to HCM
Taking pain medicine (NSAID) may not be good for health but this does not cause any weight gain if you are putting your self on weight then this could be something else and not the medicines, try some exercise, cut down calories, low down the stress, then this would be nice for you, hope this information, take care and have a nice day,
