Title: Wt gain
Post by: ombrerose4 on September 29, 2010, 10:50:38 am

I have been on Neurontin for about 5 months now and I am noticing a weight gain.  My eating habits have not changed. I am curious if anyone else on Neurontin has experienced this weight gain.  :-\

Lauren ~

To the best of my knowledge (I'm not a doctor or pharmacist) Neurontin does list weight gain as a possible side effect, but the percentage is less than 5% of users.  You may be one.   :(

Lauren,

I was on neurontin for two years and yes I gained weight also.  Once I weaned myself off I dropped 10 lbs almost overnight.  That was a short lived weight loss, I'm on Lyrica now and guess what?  The 10 lbs found me again and it was almost overnight as well. 

Good luck and let me know if you manage loose weight,
Anne Marie
