4 | Addison's Disease | Weight gain!!! I gained 30 pounds immediately after being put on this medication, which was terrible because I was already 50 pounds overweight. I have not gained any more weight since then, but I haven't been able to lose it either. Sleep issues. I now go to be at 2am and wake up at 9 instead of my old routine of going to bed at 10 and waking at 7. | I feel energetic now that I'm on medication--it controls my Addison's symptoms well. I just wish it didn't cause weight gain. | F | 22 | 1 years 20mg 2X day | 4/9/2015 | 5 | Addisson's Disease | none - it gave me my life back. I feel so weak and sick without taking this medicine regularly. | no sideffects at daily dosage of 25mg | M | 18 | 3 months | 8/3/2009 | 5 | adrenal fatigue | None | Really helped with shaking, panic, arrhythmia, and I sleep better. | F | 50 | 2 years | 4/4/2009 |
