> Dear Terryl,
Thanks for the info. I've only been on it for 5 days and my fingers seem to be swollen today. Hope it's due to the humidity. Been drinking lots of water. I'm really concerned about weight gain. In the three years I've been on meds. I've gained 30 pounds. Weighed myself today ... up two more and EATING LESS!!! Have you had any weight gain? Loss?
Thanks,

Catherine
> Catherine,
> I'm also bipolar and have been on neurontin (and others) for about 2 1/2 years. Side efects I've seen are droowsiness, and possibly the double vision I now have, but I'm on 2600mg, a bit of a high dose. On the plus side, I believe that this drug is not metabolized by the liver, which would be a plus for you. It's a fairly benign drug. Good luck with it.
