Maybe this was not the right med or a high enough dose can you talk to your doc?Sending thoughts

I weaned myself off of 1800 mg. a day, which in the beginning I worked my way up to as you did. It has now become obvious that the gabapentin was not doing anything but making me gain weight. I just recently got my health insurance back after several weeks, so now I have to go through the rounds again, finding new doctors, new med etc. I'm just really frustrated with myself for staying on that drug for so long out of fear that things could be so much worse if I went off.
