I gained about an average of 5 lbs above my "typical" weight when I am on it. At dosages less than 500mg/day (ok I know that's not much). I only saw significant weight gain (10-20lbs) kick in at higher doses (at 500mg). 250mg was rather helpful. Perhaps you can talk to your pdoc about a careful decrease?
