Hi All,
I wish I could take the Lycrica's and Neurontin's but the biggest side effect for me and really the only one is weight gain. I have went up and down 60lbs 3x's in 6 years. Right now I'm working on the 3rd time going down. So I just can't take any of the gabapentin's at all. My PN is really just being control by a small amount of narcotic pain killers. I have run through the whole line of drugs and my body just won't take it. But the gabapentin's did work for the neuropathic pain I even think better than the pain killers. I also have RSD.
Do any of you suffer fro the weight gain?
Good Luck
