For the past 14 months ive been on meds to control my BP. Avapro, Norvasc and HCTZ. My eating habits havent change and if anything my activity level has gone up substantially. Prior to the meds I was at a plateau for several years going up and down in weight 5-10 lbs. But in the last 14 months, Ive gaine at least 30 lbs. Has anyone else experienced such gains on these particular meds??

Not on those meds but do take bp meds. I wonder if you are retaining that amount of water? I know they gave me a water pill as well as the one for my actual pressure so water gain must be part of the issue for me.
