While taking Xyzal long term I gained 10 to 15 pounds. After cutting back to taking it only when needed I lost 10 pounds. Everytime I take Xyzal 2 days in a row I gain a pound or two. Xyzal gives me the munchies.

When I was on Vioxx I was also on other medication for Fibromyalgia. The medications I was on including the Vioxx did cause me to have 80 pounds of weight gain in a 3 month period. I took myself off of Vioxx in 2003 right before they took it off of the market. Since then I have been trying to lose all the weight this product caused me to gain. I have only lost 40 poounds since 2003. I am working on losing more but am trying to do it slowly. Vioxx was a very bad medication and I fear it has caused me liver damage. I am now going to a specialist for liver issues of which I have been very sick since Christmas of 2011.
