Hi,
The medicine can cause weight gain as a side effect. It is not proven that it increases the appetite. I would advise you to get your sugar levels to rule out diabetes as increase in appetite is strongly associated with diabetes. You must have healthy and nutritious diet. Alternatively, you can ask your treating doctor to change the medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
