I have been on Gabapentin (Neurontin) for years and aside from the above mentioned side affects, it has helped me.


Then for some reason they decided to switch me to Lyrica (guess they got payback or something ) and although it worked just the same for me, the reason I switched back was the price!! Apparently Lyrica is new, and therefore there is no generic, so until the 7 year patent wears out, it will be an expensive drug.

So, I will stick with the Nuerontin/Gabapentin for the time being, and yes I did have weight gain, but that has leveled out now (but still cannot get rid of the extra 5-7 lbs ) and the slight confusion is there sometimes.......

Wait, what was I talking about??!! - -
