Does Spiriva cause weight gain

I've been using Spiriva for about six weeks now, I'm sure I have gained a bit of weight despite eating a very healthy diet, wondering what others opinions are on this.

I lost weight on Spiriva! Went from 182 pounds to 147 and then stabilized.

The respimat made me fat w stomach sticking out and heart flutter. The handihaler I lost weight on. Wish I had not switched from handihaler. I’m not confident in the respimat and stopped.
