Yes, there is a chance that it may cause you to gain some weight. Not everyone experiences such a side effect, so there's no way to know if it will happen to you, or not, but the possibility is there.
Normally, I'd tell someone not to worry about it, but given your psychological state and the fact that the gain has been significant in some people, I just want to be completely honest with you to help you try to avoid any possible new issues occurring. Some people are very sensitive to such an issue and can suffer terribly if they gain even a little, I do understand.
Have you talked to your doctor about it? That may be your best option, since there are some medications that are not known to cause weight gain, so you may just want to discuss your other options.
