Advice & Tips
While I was on promethazine I surprisingly gained an extra 12kgs in body weight (nearly a 20% increase) over about ten months. The past three months I've been off it I have lost about half that (6kgs) with no real effort and no other change besides stopping the daily promethazine 25mg tablets. I was highly surprised to learn that weight gain is considered a possible side effect for long term use of antihistamines - the reason I learnt is apparently because antihistamines effect appetite control enzymes. While a surprise it rung true because I wasn't the only person to notice that my appetite had increased significantly and included feeling hungry after a regular meal and even food cravings during the late night.
