I dislike the fact that in the last year, I have gained at least 75-80 lbs..when Neurontin was introduced into my cocktail of meds. At first it was 300 mg..then 600 mg..then 1200 mg from family doc(35 lbs gained in short period of time).
PM doc doubled my Neurontin from 1200 to 2400 mg daily, in 1/09. The proof is in my chart..I have gained 35 lbs, more, in the last 5 months.

I am not use to carrying this weight around. I feel trapped with the RSD/CRPS I as it is..the weight gain adds insult to injury


Oh well, I just have to get over it, somehow.

I can barely walk with a cane. So much for working out.

I am not the only one that has had to endure weight gain from medications.
I am on a new diet and do eat healthier.
