In reply to Neurontin (gabapentin)-- Experiences?, posted by Larry Hoover on March 26, 2005, at 10:57:02
Lar, I had some good and some bad experiences with the med. On the good side it helped with anxiety (only when I took an antidepresent with it...because I would just get really depressed). I also found, as many of us have a hard time getting up and going in the morning, a bit of a dose of narcotic pain killers and Neurontin really got me up and going...and feeling really good.
I have two reasons why I stopped it, but remember we are all different. One was the weight gain...just unbelieveable...I had to eat every hour on the hour, and snack in between. The second was that the combination of all the food, and a certain mechanism in the drug brought up tons of acid reflux..it was like I was vomiting everything up. (Sorry for the gross details.)
But, for sure give it a shot and some time, and you can measure it's effects a bit better then.
Best of luck!
Jay
