I have gained about 15-20 lbs since I first started taking Neurontin last November. I wish I could blame it on water retention but I think not. It has made me lose my sense of taste in a very big way and changed my appetite completely. I was a big meat eater and now can hardly stand it, I crave sweets which I never have in the past. It's all very weird and I would love to go off the stuff but know I can't take the pain. Catch 22........
