What Causes Loss Of Concentration And Weight Gain After Having Meloset?

my doctor has giving me meloset 3mg and quitipin 200mg, from the time i have started taking these i have lost interest in doing anything, cant concentrate on my work, become very lazy in doing anything, even socializing, i have put on a lot of weight and inspite of taking suppliments unable to shed a single kilo gram.i used to take nitrosum 10 mg and toporimite 100mg which never made me add on to any weight. Do you think by going back to the previous medication would help my purpose?

Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of the Meloset and Quitpin.


The use of Meloset is associated with change in sleep pattern, headache, confusion etc.
Weight gain is a known side effect of taking Quitpin 200, other side effects include trouble concentrating, thinking or speaking, loss of interest in sex.

Since the weight gain is troubling you and you are not being able to shed even a few kilograms you are advised to visit your treating doctor so that he might use alternate medications for your problem.

Hope your doubts are clarified.
Kindly rate the answer, if you are convinced.
Wishing you best of your health.
