to all current posters:
i have been on neurontin / gabapentin for several years along with an antipsychotic for treatment of bipolar.
i have gained 60 lbs over the two previous winters and each time i gained it seemed to correspond to dose escalations in my neurontin...
this makes me believe, despite that many doctors insist my antipsychotic is to blame, that neurontin is the culprit behind this weight gain.
i'm about to begin a trial with gabatril / tiagabine to replace neurontin, but wonder whether any others have experienced profound gain while taking this drug ... the weight does not respond to diet or exercise?
i'd appreciate your input.
thanx.
