Is it possible that my 500mg one time a day ER Metformin could be causing weight gain or my Celexa only 5mg amount be causing it either? I am trying to get to the bottom of why all of sudden my weight has increased in the last 2 months. I have insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance that is why i use Metformin for prediabeties but am wondering if i should stop since my obesity is already a problem and I am gaining more weight after starting these two meds.

Hi srichman,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. Go to www.drugs.com to see any side effects of any medications that you are taking and also talk to your doctor. Usually, any anti-depressents have the side effect of weight gain so this may be an underlying reason for your weight gain but you should never stop taking any medications without consulting your physician.
You can also talk to your physician about the weight gain so he/she can offer some suggestions for your weight loss including possibily talking to a nutrionist.
I hope this information helps. Please keep us posted.
