Ever since they put me on this other medicine I have had difficutly writing. I look at some of the things I write and I am thinking....WTH.....this isn't how I used to be. Last week I went to the pain management dr for my bi-monthly visit...told her..hey...this weight gain is not flying here! I didn't even mention the thought process interuptiss.. Now combine that with exhaustion, internet issues and having trouble sitting..hence my lack of "gatherness".
So my question...is anyone else on Neurontin and has it messed you up? What good it is to take pain meds if it messes you up? It is causing massive weight gain...I know that can't be good on hurting backs and legs from the other causes.
This week I switch over to Topamax, she said it is for nerve pain also aside from migraines. She also said people have been known to loose weight on it....any topamax weight losers out there!

And yes, I've lost 13 lbs since last November on Topamax (without even really trying. Now that's it's spring and I'm able to walk some it should be more). In fact, I believe Topamax is in trials to market as a weight loss drug. You just lose your appetite and don't feel like eating.
I am just so scared of side effects with new meds
