HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, gaining weight is not due to sedative medicines but this could be due to some functional elements, better to keep the stress low, try some exercise, yoga meditation, better to stop taking sedative, try some hot milk prior to bed for good sleep instead, take care.
