That's one of the primary reasons I didn't start on neurontin when it was suggested...that and the fear of hair loss.

I think the weight gain issue is very real indeed! I was on Paxil for years and slowly gained 35 lbs over those years. The weight gain wasn't the reason for me going off the Paxil. But what I did discover since going off that (2 years ago? Can't remember now.) is that I lost that 35 lbs. Lots of people out there just contribute it to overeating for whatever reason on whatever med. But I just beg to differ!
