Weight gain isn't a real side effect, medication can only increase hunger and appetite

Actually some medicine does decrease your metabolic rate, though those aren't commonly prescribed.

Still doesn't make you gain weight no matter what you eat. No medicine in the world would make you gain at 1000 calories a day lol

True, she has to be undercounting, a lot of idiots do that because they don't have a sane sense of scale.

It can't be by definition. A lb of fat is 3500 calories. No medication can make you gain weight unless the medication is literally calories.

Right but if your metabolism is slowed, the calories your body burns by just being alive is lessened which means you have to eat even less to compensate.

That's not what's happening in the majority of cases, but you can gain weight like this if you don't adjust your diet from your previous neutral.

The other thing is that, as you lose weight, your baseline calorie requirement drops, too. So if you're doing a 500 calorie deficit (roughly 1lb/week), you occasionally need to recalculate your baseline and adjust from there. Otherwise, you can still be in a deficit and not lose much weight, because the deficit is smaller than it used to be.
