Question: do benzos make you gain weight?
Answer: Benzodiazepines (anti-anxiolytics/anti-anxiety medication) Of the limited research which has been conducted on weight gain associated with Benzodiazepines results have been mixed. Some research has reported diazepam (Valium) to have no effect on weight when taken for up to 4 weeks (Jokinen, Koskinen, Selonen, 1984).
