Weight Gain with Lyrica and Neurontin type meds...................

March 3, 2007

I take Neurontin, that I am told Lyrica have the same results, and I didn't

gain weight with that, but when they tried me on Depakote and other mood

stablizers, I gained 30 lbs in ONE MONTH! Now, with my back and nerve problem,

I

seem not able to loose any weight. As my pain takes over me, and it

shouldn't. I get so depressed, a lot lately, as I feel the pain will never go

away,

as I am being told from some Doctors. I am scared, as I hate Narcotics, and

yes they help me with my pain, but when it comes to others, I am just a drug

addict. I hate hearing that, as I don't abuse them and I wished there was

something else to stop the severe chronic pain in my lower back and left leg

nerve damage. Right now the bottom of my foot is burning. I am so afraid to

take another Percocet, as it hasn't been six hours. The Doc told me every 4

to 6 hours. Meanwhile, I am suffering with Depression with this pain and

loosing my parents and brother, three years ago. My Psychiatrist refuses to

give me anything to help me sleep or relax more. I am getting rid of them as

of

Thursday, and I hope that my new Doc can help me feel better with this

antidepressant, Elavil, that also supposed to help with Nerve pain. It has

only

been five days, and I know it is going to be 4-6 weeks, and most likely upped

this comming Friday!

Sorry, rambling. Just feel so alone. Everyone is asleep, and I can't sleep

at night, due to my Panic Disorder and Depression, and of course the pain!!

I am a worry wart, and thinking such negative things, as maybe it is all in

my head, or I never going to get in to see that Pain Specialist! I am

worried, as I also have to look at houses to buy and prepare my small wedding.

I

just can't seem to have the energy and gumbtion.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\
