I gained 20 pounds the first time I was overmedicated, and 15 the second time and then 10 more either due to PCOS onset or because after being overmedicated I became undermedicated quite quickly. I excerised like crazy but it wasn't until I got on glucophage that I lost some of the overmedication weight, I still have 20-25 pounds to lose... Anne (all my excess weight was gained due to one medication or another)
