Neurontin and bloated

I have been taking Neurontin for 1 week (300 mg 1x per day and then prescribed to increase to 300 mg 2x per day after 1st week). It has been incredible taking the pain away (hemi-vertibrae bone defect in neck with severe arthritis)!!! Like Oh my goodness wonderful!!! however - by the end of the day - i am 20 lbs bloated and feel like the weight gain is right around the corner... I am very aware of body ( I am a dancer) and need to know if this is going to balance out... i know the answer of it depends oneach person - but some insight would help me not panic right now

I have been on Neurontin for over 10 years. I am taking Neurontin for PHN. When I was first given Neurontin, I could not take the med. as prescribed. I too would fall asleep. It took a whole year before my body adjusted to the med. I now take 2700 mg. daily. Along with Tramadol. I have the rare side effects but can not quit taking the med. for fear of having a more severe pain if I don't take the meds. I have recently noticed the weight gain. I continually think I have other things wrong with me, but when reading the side effects, I fit almost all the symtoms. Low back pain, bloated full feeling, body aches, buring eyes, change in vision, clumsiness, constipation, decrease in sexual desire, eye discharge, increased sensitivity to pain and touch, indigestion, nervousness, redness, trouble thinking, and loss of strength.

I had an operation last year for hernia and since a month I am taking gaba-pentin and my belly is all bloated and burning where the scare is. I don't know if I will continue it. I think it is not worth but I have better sleep

hi. i take 300mg neurontin twice daily for partial seizures.
i have experienced a great deal of kidney/liver pain since i have been taking this medication(1 1/2 years now), along with abdominal cramps, bloated torso sensation, lethargy, and a lack of concentration and co-ordination/balance.

i have had liver and allergy tests and the results came back normal.

the pains vary from mild discomfort, to stabbing sensations in my kidneys that prevent me from sleeping.
as i have been seizure free for two years now, i would like to try and gradually wean myself off the medication. has anyone any suggestions as to good ways of doing this, and things to avoid.
thanks for any help,
