Has anyone else with PD experienced > weight gain? > Bonnie Rupert > Upstate, New York Hi Bonnie I am in the same boat with you on the weight gain. I am 43 and was diagnosed 3 years ago with PD. It cost me my career in the Marine Corps of 24 years. I mentioned the Marines so you can tell the kind of activity that I was use too. Unfortunately I am no longer able to be very active. In the past 3 years I have gained 75 pounds. I have had to adjust my eating habits but am still not having any luck with weight lose. Again like you I am not only on PD medication but antidepressants medication's also. I contend that the inactivity and the antidepressants are the cause of my weight gain. Unfortunately there isn't any thing I can do about it. If you come up with any ideas let me know MURPH Lost in a small village in Arkansas
