Gabapentin has a saturable bioavailabilty - that means if you are taking about 1600 mg/day it is nearly the same as 2400 or 3600 mg/day. I remember someone said "the problem with Neurontin is it stops working after some time". Thats perhaps the reason. Your system adapts in a way and then you cant give your system more of gabapentin. The uptake is limited = saturable. What about pregabalin? Why it is causing weight gain? It doesnt act exactly like gabapentin or not only like gabapentin. Is there any influence on the HP axis?!
