Marijo,
You sound so much like me,when it comes to taking Neurontin. I gained 30pounds in a short time. I told my Dr. and he said it won't make you gain weight. I said,"It may not, but I was so hungry that I did gain anyway. I hated it and knew from the forums that the same complain was coming in. So I was put on Cymbalta and the weight started coming off. I now have lost the 30 pounds with hard work and would like to loose more.

Now I have my OSS wanting me to go back on Neurontin. I said ok,for a short while, because I don't have to go and buy it But I will not stay on it & gain all that weight back again.

I have never been on Topamax before. Is it for neuropathy? I have so much leg pain, but I do think some of the numbness has let up. I too,have trouble sleeping and if I get 4 hours, most of the time it is enough.

Well I better back on out of here tonight. I have been sleepy all evening.
Blessings,
Billie
