I am also on gabapentin from nerve damage from a car accident. I have gained 20% weight gain from my usual pre-accident wt. I have done research and found this is common from taking this medication. What is the alternative medication to this one?

Cymbalta is awful. You think you have trouble now try going off of cymbalta. Look up cymbalta withdrawal they actually have a diagnosis for it.
Not a good trade off

That's a shame that you feel bad. I have gained close to 30 lbs in 3 years I feel exactly the same and have talked with my dr. I can't get anyone to help me either!
I have gained 75 pounds I only eat once a day and I exercise every day but still keep getting heavy I'm depressed and I hate myself but the only thing I can take is the gabapentin I'm allergic cymbalta and lyrics what do I do it hurts to much to not take it doctor won't help me
Weight gain is extremely common on Gaba, so not sure where you have been getting your Info
Wow that is so encouraging . I was thinking of going off of it but it helps so much. I am on a lot of medication weaning off the oxys so I am in so much pain. possibly my weight gain has been caused by enjoying too much good carbs over the summer. I am encouraged to stay on it for another month while dieting.

Same here. Not ravenous. Not sedate but gained 30 lbs in roughly one year. Weaning off to date. Hope to lose weight. Eating one meal a day is common for me even before gabapentin.

I gained 20 lbs in the last year and am not eating . Same here , the only drug that helps my nerve pain . So depressing
Other neurontins are Lyrica , topomax - which is known to make you lose weight .. A lot of other side effects with all these , but worth a discussion with your doc
Ask your doc about Topomax
