Just a few pounds but I actually out that down to reduced activity as before my fibro became very bad I had been extremely active. I have managed to keep a steady enough weight even though I have been on it 10 years but I am on a low dose in comparison to many. On a higher dose it can make you sluggish which again would account for weight gain. It did give me a sweet tooth which I never had before so I always make sure there is plenty of fruit around so I can do more healthy snacking.x
