Is weight gain a side effect of apriso?

I have gained an extra 25 pounds from nowhere since starting apriso. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks.
 
Gosh I hope not. I gained 45 lbs before I was diagnosed (I think from depression meds), I just started apriso 1 1/2 weeks ago. No change at all yet. I can't afford the meds and a larger set of clothes.

I'm interested to see what others have experienced too.
 
It's been so frustrating for me. I eat very little and usually eat small meals consisting of fruits and veggies. This is the most I have ever weighed. I am not active enough due to back problems. I am due for more Crohn's tests next week. Depending on what they show there may be a change in meds.
