Medication and Weight Gain?

Hi all,
I am a petite 22 yr old woman, and recently was put on Sertraline - in which I gained 15 lbs in six weeks. I was switched to Neurontin and although I've been on it for almost a month, my weight hasn't budged. The weight itself doesn't bother me, it's the fact that I gained it all in my stomach - adding four extra inches to my waistline!
NONE of my clothes fit and eating healthy/exercising hasn't let me lose an ounce. I generally eat very healthy, so usually when I up my healthy habits, weight comes off of me very easily.
I see my Dr tomorrow, but I'm just very frustrated and miss being able to wear things other than leggings...
Any advice? I can't believe after a month of dieting, I haven't lost anything...!
