Hi and thank you so much for this query.

II a so sorry to hear about this weight gain issue. The ideal solution would have been to replace these medications with those that have not this side effect. However, I believe the benefits warrant that you continue with this medication. I will suggest that you watch your diet, do regular exercise and you would be able to control this weight. Rarely would drugs alone be responsible for huge weight gains without excess calories intake and lack of physical exercise. If you have difficulties figuring out how much you should eat or b exercising, talk to a dietitian about this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
