Yes, possible weight: gain. Unfortunately, doctors often do not address this when prescribing medicine, despite weight gain being very troubling for the many patients. To loose weight please eat less, exercise more and visit your doctor for physical exam routinely. Nothing crazy, just change your life style. Good luck.

Believe so: Please accept fact that most medicines of the sort you were taking do affect appetite and weight, and as you taper off, you have opportunity to reverse the adverse effects. Your approach is valid, and depending upon extent of gain, may well be highly successful in a reasonable time.
