824.0. "weight gain on "the pill"?" by GOLLY::CARROLL (something inside so strong) Mon Aug 30 1993 19:47

    Anyone have any information on weight gain on the Pill (ie: oral
    contraceptives?)  I know weight gain is a known potential side effect,
    but the information I've seen doesn't go in to any details such as - is
    it a one time weight gain (assuming your eating stays the same) and you
    just settle out at a somewhat higher weight (how much?) or do you keep
    going up?  Does your need for food decrease permanantly?  Do you adjust
    after a while?  Etc.
    
    Thanks.
    D!

	Weight gain used to be a real problem on the old-style high-dosage pills. The "new" (i.e. since 1978 or so) mini-pills should result in little or no weight gain. The mini-pills have a lower dose of the hormones that caused the weight-gain problem.
