The name of the drug was not included in the question. If your question is about the Gabapentin drug marked in the tags, please read on.
Common side effects of Gabapentin include increased appetite. Anorexia is just as common. As a consequence, the drug can cause both weight gain and weight loss. We wrote about whether to be afraid of adverse drug reactions in the article:

If you suspect that the medication you are using has caused weight gain, I encourage you to consult your doctor. You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

I also encourage you to report the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
