Weight gain with Gabapentin?
Is it me or am I gaining weight since I started using Gabapentin? I've been using it for close to a month and I've gained 7 pounds with my usual schedule. Has this happened to anyone else?

No it's not your imagination nor your fault. Its the medication. It packs on the pounds.

Re: Weight gain with Gabapentin?
Yup. I put on 15 lbs. on 1200 calories a day. Not fun, but neither is pain. I stopped gaining after the 15. I'm off it now and I've already lost 8, though I'm still eating responsibly. Annoying, huh?
