I am just starting guanfacine and am nervous about weight gain. Has anyone dealt with weight related side effects? If not, what other side effects have you experienced?

      So I started it about 3 weeks ago and I actually have been losing weight. Other than that I didn't notice any other symptoms aside from my pupils being huge. It caught me off guard at 1st but it's okay lol.

        @LyssaDane23 Hopefully the weight part happens to me too. Dang! Meds really having the weirdest side effects. I read somewhere that people lose thier appetite for a bit, which makes them lose weight, but after a bit your hunger comes back stronger, which results in gain.

          @Cait01 well let's hope we get the results we need, even if it means a little weight gain.❤️
