Does anyone know if Spironolactalone cause weight gain?

I was prescribed Spironolactalone for acne - since then, coincidentally, I've gained 12 - 15 pounds, over 3 months. I am scared, b/c I can't understand why such weight gain, but I can't seem to reverse it. I overeat constantly, when not trying to be a 'diet diva' who is 'delightfully disciplined'in keeping control. At 5'3" + and weighing 175 for the first time ever, I feel like a trainwreck with no way to stop - any helpful suggestions?
