Hashi! I so understand the weight gain issue. I feel like the only person in the entire world who gained on gabapentin. I'm ten pounds over my usual weight, but seem to be maintaining at least. It's mostly water weight. I swell up like a balloon when I take it, to the point where I can't taking my wedding ring off. I think I'm going to go back on it though. Since stopping it and starting buspirone instead for my anxiety I've had two panic attacks. Even my pdoc was surprised I've had side effects from gabapentin because she said most people don't.

Surprisingly seroquel has actually been weight neutral for me, as long as I don't pig out on sweets like I did last time I was on it.

I don't know. I understand your frustration! I hope you can find a med that doesn't cause weight gain.

Seriously, gabapentin was like a miracle for me regarding anxiety. It worked better than clonazepam.

I'm going back on it and just dealing with the side effects!
