You can google the name of your antibiotic and then read the side effects. If that is the only thing that you have changed, then it makes sense that the meds are the cause. =)

I've never heard of antibiotics causing weight gain, and I spent several years working in a medical office. Maybe you're thinking of steroids.

If you are eating the right food and exercising more, you will be building toned muscle which weighs more than fat thus you put on weight but you get slimmer.
