I have taken Lyrica and noticed the increase in appetite (carbs/sugars). I gained a couple pounds, but dropped the medicine due to ineffectiveness of the incessant burning on the bottoms of my feet.

I recently started neurontin (about 3 months ago). I'm up to 600mg TID and still don't find it effective. This time though, the weight gain is already about 8 pound. I'm not overweight at all, but don't like where it is going...and it's not working anyway.

I actually just sent an email this morning to my neuro about stopping and whether is needs to be tapered. I have read different things about withdrawal syndrome with neurontin.

Anybody have feedback on this? Thanks in advance.
