Hi Deb,
I was on 3200 mg of neurotin to keep from have involuntary jerks, electric jolts, spasms, gain weight, switched to lyrica 400 mg. it worked better for nerve pain, but still weight gain. Dr. let me slowly go off it, and didn't get jolts, jerks, spasms back and lost 30 lbs. gain a little back with another drug. But glad I'm off. I seemed to be somewhat brain fogged.
Take care, loretta
