Weight gain??!! How much weight did you gain? I always thought that Neurontin was a mood stabalizer often chosen over Depakote because it didn't have weight gain side effects (along with a milder side-effect profile in general). My friend recently diagnosed with bipolar II has been put on Neurontin. She's already gained a lot of weight from Paxil (prescribed for panic attacks...it never really helped, but now she can't get off of it!!!). So, what should she expect weight-wise with Neurontin?? Do you think it is up there with Paxil in terms of making people fat?
