Yes, I've heard that Neurontin can effect your appetite either way.. It can possibly cause you to gain weight or lose, depending on how your body reacts to it.

I've only seen postings that say that weight gain is expected. Never the other way. Appreciate your response.

Everyone I know gained weight on IVSM, except me. I lost weight. Of course, I gained it later on Paxil..

Everybody's different.

I have been on Neurontin since 2003. For me, I had very little side effects, including weight gain. I will say though that I am on a very little dose compared to others. I take 900 mg a day.

For me, the hunger issues are due to MS and not Neurontin. I can be hungry and eat a couple of bites and feel full. I eat frequently throughout the day. But, I also have times where my hunger button goes the opposite way and I feel hungry all the time. It's really strange.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of water when you take Neurontin. It will help with some of the side effects.
