> > Dear Terryl,
> Thanks for the info. I've only been on it for 5 days and my fingers seem to be swollen today. Hope it's due to the humidity. Been drinking lots of water. I'm really concerned about weight gain. In the three years I've been on meds. I've gained 30 pounds. Weighed myself today ... up two more and EATING LESS!!! Have you had any weight gain? Loss?

Hi Catherine,
Wish I could say I've had a different experience, but I've gained about 16 pounds in the last 3 years. I'm on 6 different meds so it's hard to know what's what in terms of side-effects, but I think the Lithium and Zoloft have been worse than the Neurontin. I have heard that weight gain is a side effect in some people, but I don't think Neurontin is as bad as some. Good luck. I know how it feels!
Terry
