Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Many drugs used for migraine and pain killers will have the effect of gaining weight, more over these are the drugs for continuous use.
The other causes for weight gain may be the diet,so it is a main factor for weight gain.If you are not taking much of fatty foods, calories, and junk foods, i advise you to restrict the drugs you are using to the period of pain only.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a healthy body.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
