Saturn wouldn't it be wonderful if it could replace benzos? I do hear it causes weight gain though but I wonder if it's at high or low doses? Do you know? Love Phillipa

I do know that neurontin (which is almost Lyrica) is notorious for weight gain.

And yes, it would be awesome if it could replace benzos, though I don't think anything can currently hold a candle to them for treating anxiety.

I would gladly take weight gain for even a response 50% as effective as benzos. But if it's a waste of time I'd really like to know also.

Peace...Saturn.

My guess is that weight gain is dose-dependent, though I could be mistaken...

I e-mail with a poster that took under l00mg no weight gain and it did help her anxiety a lot I think. Love Phillipa
