Does Taking Valparin Along With Levipil And Nootropil Cause Weight Gain?
My wife 37 years old was diagnosed as Hashimoto Enchapalitis and under the following medications for the last 4 months. Levipil- 1gm( 1-0-1), Wysolene 5gm (1-0-.5 ) Nootropil 1200mg ( 1-0-1),Pregalin- 75mg(0-0-1), Clcitrol -(1-0-0), Rocaltrol (1-0-0)Sizodon- 1 mg( .5-0-1). Now psychiatrist suggest to use Valparin Chrono- 200 mg(0-0-1) to reduce the stress. My question is she has already gained the weight and now by taking valparin would there be a weight again and possible further side effects?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
One of the significant side effects of Valparin is weight gain and she is likely to gain more weight . However if she is in the habit of binge eating when stressed , Valparin may reduce her stress and help her control that. The other significant side effects can be dizziness, shakiness, unsteadiness in walking, nausea, blurring of vision and diarrhea .
Hope I have answered your query.
