It's common; I don't know about the "extremely quickly" part.

Neurontin and Weight Gain

Several side effects are possible with Neurontin, and weight gain has been reported. It appears more frequently in children than in adults and can often be combated by eating heart-healthy foods and exercising regularly. However, if you experience a rapid weight gain, you should report this to your healthcare provider, as it may be a sign of a serious medical condition.
