Thank you Doctor for helping people, I'm prescribed with GABAPENTIN 1000mg a day for my spinal cord damage (I forgot the name of illness 😅) but unfortunately it's chronic i was on PREGABALIN before but it made me dizzy all the time so i told my Dr and now on this one it's much better (AND I DON'T GAIN WEIGHT FROM IT) THANK YOU again Dr
@@realtalk37851 I'm sorry to hear that for real, try to eat food full with fibre it will help I'm sure of that (and it's not just vegetables, even though they're super good for us but it's hard to stay on diet with only vegetables) i wish you great luck
Paywall for research papers? Use sci hub. My question is that the alterrnatives for neuropathy are duloxetine and amitryptyline or nortryptyline.... how do these compare to gabapentin for weight gain?
I still like that review by Dr. Thomas Perry from Vancouver, University of British Columbia, who was able, through court order, get Pfizer's early (pre-marketing data) that showed the gabapentin did nothing for pain. Pain treatment was an off-label.....it got FDA approval for treating seizures (which is rarely prescribed for). The bigger question should be: does it even work?
There are many factors to consider but possible alternatives could include: pregabalin, duloxetine, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and amitriptyline.
So weirdly enough I just started a low dose of gabapentin and I feel so hungry constantly. It's like I'm on a steroid it's so bad.
Same thing happened to me... I've been on it for about 9 months now and have gained about 20 lbs
They cannot tell you how a med will react in your body. 3-6 months them stabilization? That's ridiculous
Gabapentin indeed cause weight gain and my face looks a little fat while my body looks thin. Why is that?
Water Retention...burn more calories and cut on ur salt intake and chew chewingums
Thank you Sir for your information and help! It’s much appreciated! 😊

Whenever I take gabapentin I feel abnormal hunger..right now It's 11.40pm in India..I had rice at 10.30pm and now I'm having 7 big size mangoes 😑
Lol, yeah I feel the same way. I've gained like 15 pounds in a month from taking Neurontin (Gabapentin).
