Dear brio8:

I have been taking Neurontin 600mg 4x a day now for almost 3 years. Every time I think that the medication is not helping anymore and I start to slowly go off of it, the pain becomes unbareable. When I first started taking it I was messed up for quite a few weeks. Thought I had gotten high for those first few weeks. Your body gets use to it, and yes there is some weight gain. I personally have a problem with weight gain part also, but then I stop taking it and I will deal with a few extra pounds. If you can give it another week or so. I don't know what I would do with out it. Oh yes I do I would not be able to walk, or have a sense of humor. When the pain is severe ask your love ones how it affects them too. You just have to weigh the facts. (Ha Ha) See I do have a sense of humor. Good luck with whatever choice you make. If you do go off it, gradually quit taking it, please don't stop cold turkey.
