Re: Neurontin / gabapentin weight gain?

hello all..

i have been on neurontin and seroquel ( an antipsychotic ) since being diagnosed bipolar in 2000.

i have consequently gained 60 lbs over two winters due primarily to my med. regimen... weight that has not responded to diet or exercise.

i am currently investigating alternatives to my present treatment schedule and a local doctor advised i switch from neurontin to lamictal because of a decreased propensity to cause weight increase. i have heard of only variable reports of weight gain on neurontin and wondered what your collective experience has been?

i must admit, the weight i gained seemed to coincide with a dose increase in my gabapentin / neurontin and makes me wonder, along with the doctor, whether neurontin is the culprit ... any insight?
