Re: Neurontin - does it lead to weight gain?

>>My physiatrist is now suggesting neurontin. I'm already overweight from
years of anti-depressants. Does neurontin tend to create weight gain?
TIA.<<<

I don't know but I'm eternally amazed at the people who can 'bump up' the
dosage to like 2400 mgs or whatever. I took 100 mg (one pill) and 20
minutes later passed out. NOT the drug for me. I think it lowered my
blood pressure to zip.

I threw them down the toilet so I never made the mistake on taking another
one again. Neurontin is a four letter word to me.

Sorry that wasn't the answer you're looking for... someone will know!
