Depends on weight: If a person weighs 400 pounds. Ten pounds is only 2.5 percent of his/her body weight. A person who weight 100 pounds, ten pounds would be ten percent of his /her weight.
Ideally, one should not lose more than about 5 percent of one's body weight in a week.

Weight : I would suggest that reducing the dose has not caused your wt gain. You need to increase your exercise and reduce your caloric intake. Good Luck
