Some of these aren't to be taken without a doctor's intervention!

Darvocet and xanax, both have the side effect of lethargy, can cause you to be less active and therefore lead to some weight gain.
Midrin is a diuretic, causes water loss therefore would not cause weight gain, phenergan is an anti nausea drug, slows peristalsis in the gut and can lead to temporary wt gain in small amounts.
Baclofen is an antibiotic and has no effect on weight.

I have used midrin for migraines, phenergan for coughs, and xanax and I have never experienced weight gain....I am not sure about darvocet or baclofen. Darvocet is just a pain killer isn't it? As far as I know it wouldn't cause weight gain but everyone's different.....

the side effects for most of those do incluse weight gain, but they can also include weight loss so really its hard to determine if your weight gain is the meds. If the meds are keeping you too sedated and you're not active enough, and i know some of them make you hungry, then that could be a reason, but its impossible to really know.
sorry, i guess i didnt really answer your question...

xanax and darvacet do not cause you to gain weight. I'm not sure what the others are, but if they're for depression, more than likely they will make you gain weight.

I had a weight increase after using anti anxiety medications and was told by my doctor that any medication you use that "relaxes" someone has the potential to cause some weight gain due to the fact that your metabolism tends to slow down. ie...xanax, seroquel, darvon, etc.

I know 3 of them make you complacent and tired .
You have probably cut back on your physical activity ,without even realizing it .
This would explain the weight gain.
Are you on any Steroids like Prednisone ?
Prednisone puy 85 lbs on me and they are impossible to take off.
