Neurontin

Anyone out there take Neurontin? If so, at what dose?

I am curious also, does it cause weight gain??

Thanks in advance.

I used to take it 3x per day at 800mg each time. For anxiety. But I find it tends to fizzle out if you keep using it.

I now take it as-needed, 800mg. It helps with anxiety that way. But it only has a subtle affect. It's not as good as a benzo. But it does help.

I have not had any problem with weight gain, whether taking it daily or as-needed. But I have heard that people can have weight issues on it.

It is also known to make people sleepy, but that isn't the case with me. In fact, it tends to make me more awake.

Hope that helps.

I take Neurontin, 900mg x 3 per day........2700mg. I take it for nerve problems in my legs, not for anxiety.

I've had no problems with weight gain from that and it doesn't make me sleepy either.

My husband takes it in 3X 300 mg.

He did notice *slight* weight gain (5-10 lbs) He isn't taking it for anxiety rather for neuropathy.

He says it doesn't make him sleepy either and the effects for the neuropathy have disappointedly went away.
