I need a bit of information to answer this question. How frequent are your Migraines?
Thanks,

There are a few medications sometimes prescribed for Migraine prevention that have weight loss as a side effect. Whether your cousin is lying or telling the truth isn't something we can really answer.

PS: A tip for you. Typing in all caps is considered shouting online. It's also more difficult to read.

ALTHOUGH I SUFFER FROM MIGRAINES, THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT MY COUSIN. SHE HAVE QUITE OFTEN. SHE WAS PUT ON A DAILYMEDICATION. SHE HAS LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT IN A SHORT TIME SPAN. PERSONALLY, I DONT BELIEVE IT. SHE IS ALSO A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN, AND A BIG LIAR AT TIMES. SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SHE MIGHT BE TELLING THE TRUTH,LOL. SHE HASNT SAID WHAT THE NAME OF THE MEDICATION IS.
