Gaining weight is making me tired!

13 lbs in 3 weeks is a major gain, especially if you are not all that big (me, on the other hand, who is somewhere around 400, it's not that big). Your body could just need sometime to adjust to the new weight and the new eating habits. Right now, your body is a bit out of whack and in something that it isn't exactly familiar with, so if you give it time you should be OK.
If you wanted some advice, it's awesome that you have a great gain out of the starting gate like that, but I would take it down a notch. Just general overeating and a dessert or two, because if you go all out, you will experience what you are now. You can always eat more as time goes on.
Also, you get to savor every new pound, which is a perk itself.

I agree,take your time...the human body need stime to adjust to change,be it weight gain or loss or any other kind of major change.Also,how much of what you are eating is sugar (remembering that a lot is 'hidden' in processed foods)?Sugar gives you a quick energy boost,but that is followed by an equally abrupt 'down'.Bananas give energy,but release the sugar slowly and therefore avoid the low.
ENJOY your weight gain as I do mine..enjoy eating and try to not look at it as a race,although,as a gainer,I understand your impatience

Smart advice there buddy.
Seriously... you should not cut out fresh foods- like fruit and veggies.
Agree...nuts/avocado/sushi and sashimi/bananas are all good for you and excellent at helping those pounds on (especially the nuts..I find cashew nuts really helpMetalhead717 wrote
As far as gaining the actual weight, it's whatever you want. ^-^ But as far as what you eat, you should really only binge on junk foods once in a while.

Sushi is amaaaazing. Definitely one of my favourite things to eat. Unfortunately, I have never been to Japan or anything and tasted it there, something tells me the Yo!Sushi chain is not quite the genuine article! Even still, it really is great. Food going past on a conveyor belt - anything better?!
Yeah,taking it off and putting it in your mouth lol+1

how long did it take to loose muscle?
Probably a while...but it's all a question of degree..how toned in the first place,how sedentary are you going to become etc?I am still quite muscular as I am still very active,but also have fat..it is possible to be both fat and fit and to have both muscle and fat...the best example I can think of off the top of my head is the actor Brian Blessed who is clearly a big man but who was on TV a couple of years ago trying a climb of Mount Everesthow long did it take to loose muscle?
