Does anyone know how severe the weight gain is with Neurotin? Is it really bad? My doc wants me to go up to 1200mg total per day. Am I likely to gain loads of weight on this dose??
Thanks

i have a friend who was on that (and other meds) and gained about 50lbs.
then there's me who gained virtually nothing on it. took anywhere from 600mg/day up to 2100mg.
so i think there's a lot of variability.
i also have another friend that takes it for pain and she gained only a couple pounds also.
