Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I also take Nuerontin for the nerve pain, sciatica in my left leg, have taken it since my last surgery in November 2003, I have heard, just from another friend who used to take it that it causes problems with weight gain. Has anyone else found this to be true or know of any information pointing to this to be a fact? I am afraid to stop taking it. The nerve pain is much less severe than without it, and that kind of pain is a nightmare I can't stand to delve back into again. Hugs, I take 600mg of Neurontin every 6 hours which usually falls on a 10-4-10-4 schedule. The Neurontin wears off about every 5 hours so the pain also wakes me up. I take the Neurontin for the neuropathy pain in my upper legs. Neurontin has been prescribed for all kinds of things but it is an anti-seizure medication. It helps with neuropathy pain but rarely other types of pain. Kaylene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has not ever made me gain weight. But Prednisone has! I am getting off of Prenisone now. God bless you, I know the pain of which you speak.
