>junkie :(This is actually something I wanted to start talking about. What exactly is it that makes people gain weight when they go on these drugs? Is it increased appettite so they just start eating more? Is it bad diet? Junk food? Water retention?
Im on Neurontin and Im determined not to gain more weight! I need to lose some as it is. Im really trying to watch what I eat, no junk food, and when Im still hungry after eating I make a slim fast shake or eat a Kashi bar. The cookies and cream kashi go lean bar tastes like a candy bar. So I figure its better to eat that then a 3 musketeers. You know?! High fiber veggies like brocolli also make you feel fuller.fk
