I have been on Neurintin for about 7 months.... I dont know if it really helps or not, as I have progressively worsened over these last 7 month despite all the therapy, posture vest, tens unit and changing how I live my life. I have experienced weight gain 18 pounds as well as developed tremors in my right hand and arm (i don't know if that is related to Neurontin?)

Just got my Dr report from the last visit and this is what he stated about the switch:
I would like to make the switch as I feel Lyrica is more effective and has fewer side effects. I suspect she will need to go up on Lyrica or Neurontin and would like to transition her as soon as possible.


Really cant stand this weight gain garbage... it really sucks..when does it go away...and is it easy to loose the weight after im off these drugs?

Thanks
