I've been taking Neurontin for about 2 months (300mg 3x/day) to l...

I have been taking 2700 mg per day of Gabapentin for a year now. I have had a 12 pound weight gain in that time. I am also on 150 mg of Lyrica as of the last 3 months. I too have a left pupil that is not as round as the right pupil as of this last eye exam 2 months ago. I even had to have a second eye exam 2 weeks later to see if there were any changes. I'm happy to say there weren't : )

I have had chronic TMJ symptoms and nerve pain associated with a dental procedure 4 years ago. Pain levels have been better since I have been on the Gabapentin. I also have bursitis in both hips, carpal tunnel in both wrists, and neck pain in C6 and C7 areas. This all started within the last 4 years after this dental, and subsequent uneccessary dental procedures.

I don't want to go back to more pain, but I do not like the weight gain which in itself, increases my pain levels.

P.S. I work out on the treadmill and do exercise videos for an hour and a half each morning. Hence, the baffling question, why did I gain this weight?!
