HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Lansoprazole is associated with weight gain. This is the only medication in the list that has this possible effect.
Bupropion is actually a component in a new weight loss drug and levothyroxin is replacement thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is associated with increase metabolism.
You may want to check to make sure your thyroid hormone levels are not low. If they are , it can be associated with increased weight.
I hope this helps
