We are not medical professionals, so we cannot say definitively why you are gaining weight and having these side effects, however, yes it could be from medications. I am going to post what I can find out on each one for you, along with common side effect information.
Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, this is an antidepressant.
These are well known for causing weight gain, as well as nausea, drowsiness and headaches.
Nexpro contains the active ingredient Esomaprazole, sold in the US under the brand name Nexium. This is used to treat conditions such as heartburn and GERD.
Common side effects for this may include: nausea, headache, decreased appetite and gas.
Olmecip contains the active ingredient Olmesartan, this is another type of medication used to treat high blood pressure, commonly sold in the US under the brand name Benicar.
Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.
