Nick Reiner<\/strong><\/a>‘s weight gain set him on a murderous path, but it didn’t have to be that way … just ask Dr. Drew<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The good doc joined us on “TMZ Live” Monday and told us Nick likely would have benefited from being prescribed weight-loss drugs to counteract a common side effect of the anti-psychotic drugs he was taking.<\/p>\n

As we uncovered in our new documentary, “The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened,” Nick’s unravelling that resulted in the murders of his parents, Rob<\/strong><\/a> and Michele Reiner<\/strong><\/a>, is directly connected to his gaining weight<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nick was stable on a cocktail of drugs until a month before the murders, when he complained to doctors about weight gain. His meds were changed<\/strong><\/a>, and sources say the new mix sent him into an erratic, dangerous state. We’re told he had a complete break from reality at the time of the murders.<\/p>\n

Dr. Drew says psychiatrists, particularly younger ones, are now prescribing patients GLP-1 drugs — like Ozempic and Mounjaro — as a way to counterbalance side effects from the other pills … though he says it’s a delicate balance.<\/p>\n

In Nick’s case, Dr. Drew says GLP-1 drugs may have helped … and who knows where Nick, Rob, and Michele would be if the meds were never changed.<\/p>\n
