In Remembrance
|
I was on neurontin for a year and a half. I didn't put on any weight, but I did notice a bit of hair loss while I was taking it. It also gave me a craving for sweets.

I gained 50 pounds on this med. I was up to at one point 2400 mgs a day but was mostly at 1800 mgs for quite a while. This medication has made me unrecognizible from my driver's license picture. I feel like a weeble wobble. I am 4' 11" and I weigh 185 or so. You can imagine what my body image must be like. This is after being off the med for over a year now and I am still fighting side effects.
While it is not a glowing review of the med, it is better to know than not know at all.
