In reply to Neurontin weight gain, posted by 16# on July 25, 2001, at 18:39:57
Hi. I'm a 40 yr. old female 5'6'' 246 lb.who is ''clean'' for 5 days from neurontin. Why? because I gained 75 lbs, and I cannot stand it any longer. It was prescribed to me for my back and get this: the extra weight is killing me! Go figure that one out! I'm being treated for chronic back pain & the dope gives me something that causes weight gain and has a side effect of low back pain! Now how stupid is that? What I'd like to know is, will I lose the weight that I gained from being on neurontin, being that I stopped taking the medication? My Dr. put me on Topamax for the weight loss. I sure do hope it works. I also suffer from depression. Who wouldn't be depressed being so big. I thank anyone who comes up with answers to my questions. What is in neurontin that makes us gain so much weight? Also I'd like to thank Dr. Bob for this cool site so we all have a place to come to to air our gripes. THANK YOU DR. BOB! TUFFYS MOMMY
