I think you should ask your doctor. I'm sure he/she can address that.0

Lots of medications can cause weight gain via a whole host of different mechanisms. Some may change your metabolism, some your feelings of hunger or satiety, some your energy levels making you less likely to want to exercise etcetc. I don't know about the specific medication you are on, ask your doctor, but yeah, the body is a complex machine with lots of interdependent parts.0

There a lot of medicines that can cause weight gain. Anti depressants being a main culprit0

Most medications that 'cause weight gain' only do so because they make you very hungry. I've been on lots of said medications that supposedly cause weight gain. I did gain weight. Because I ate more than I burned, because I was so hungry.0
