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.
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.
