Can some medications cause weight gain?

Anti depressant tablets can cause weight gain. Three years ago I went from a size 16 to 22. And no amount of cutting back on my food did any good, as it was if I had cut back anymore I might as well have stopped eating. The doctor was onto me to get the weight off, which really bugged me, I realised what the problem was. To cut a long story short I came off that tablet and within a month I was back to my usual weight and size. What a relief that was. I now have a new wardrobe ,clothes I couldn’t get into for years.

Overeating causes weight gain, not medication. Some do however, cause water-retention but that's temporary.

I may be gaining from Gabapentin. It helps but my weight has increased.
