Norvasc and weight change

Due to weight loss and other improvements, I have been allowed (by Doctor) to quit taking norvasc. Within a week or so, my weight increased about three pounds. Could this be related to quiting norvasc?
Thanks for your help and for providing this great forum.

Dear Mason
I am pretty sure Norvasc did not influence your weight.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
