I'm on gabapentin.

I do great until late evening then it's hard not to eat.

I'll be buying new genes too, unless it comes under control.

lol neurontin is dreadful for things like that - it's why I came off it!! combination of stopping all sport and music after developing RSD and the gaba made me put on so much weight that I am still fighting to get off properly and back to my pre RSD "normal" size.

Love

LOL 185 Lbs. the Doc. said, no, it's because your middle aged now.. LOL I told him, look.. I was ALWAYS at 120 lbs. and I noticed me eating more, and look at me now?? he still said it wasn't from the remeron!! ok.. he finally weened me off of it(I am on Effexor xr) and have been now for 6 yrs. no weight gain.. I then said to him, see?? I told ya so?? LOL he didn't have too much to say!! Now, this neurotin is really helping me some, and I do not want to get off it. guess I'll walk my "love handles" off LOL Love, Desi
