Gabapentin is approved for use in children 3 years of age and older for certain indications٫ such as partial seizures. The dosage for pediatric patients is determined based on their weight and specific condition. Anyone gain weight on Gabapentin? I'm not yet sure if I've been gaining weight, but hubby made a comment today. Wasn't mean. And he said it could have just been the shirt or bloat even. But now we are concerned it might be the new med I'm taking. I've Googled and have seen varying opinions/experiences on this. Hi, I have had SFN for 7 years and consume 1.8 g gabapentin per day. Early effects were balance and loss of short term memory, #1 effect is ongoing and #2 has largely dissipated. Other gabapentin side effects include edema (fluid buildup), weight gain, and eye problems, but these aren’t as common. Rare but serious gabapentin side effects include mood changes in children. It can also cause suicidal thoughts or behaviors in children and adults. Plus, having been treated for binge eating disorder, I’ve been on a weight loss plan that would see quicker results, but my dietician was saying gaba is a big time weight gainer. Two weeks ago, after messing up prescription timing, I went into withdrawal just after 36 hours- the withdrawal was hell. Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. Gabapentin is a drug that can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. This comes as a surprise to many people because, as you say, it doesn't feel like they are getting hooked on a drug. Physical addiction is no joke. Gabapentin withdrawal is as bad as alcohol or benzo withdrawal. It's mental and physical. I am not sure if I have lost weight due to being on gabapentin, but I do feel nauseous which reduces my appetite. I think I am hungry but then I look at food and I just the thought of eating it makes me want to throw up. i have been in gabapentin for a little over one month. the VA started me at 300 tid, then 400, then 600, and now i am at 800 tid. i have definitely gained some fat but i so stay very active and eat consciously. my pain and anxiety are definitely lower and my sleep has greatly improved. i was prescribed gabapentin to stay off alcohol and phenibut I was on 600mg and tapered slowly over 4+ months. I lost water weight every time I stepped down the dose (e.g. 600mg to 500mg, 500 to 400) and have lost a total of 4.5 pounds. Past a certain point, gabapentin bioavailability begins to reduce. This means that taking more means it will actually be weaker ( source ) I lol whenever I read a comment about somebody taking 40 or so pills and complaining about how everybody else is bullshitting about the gabapentin high. I have lost almost 100 lb while being on 5400 mg of gabapentin for close to 20 years. During the last 10 years I've had six surgeries, including both hips and two spine surgeries and a shoulder and thyroid surgery so I haven't been able to exercise to lose the weight. I was on Gabapentin for about 6 weeks from February to March/April. My normal weight is 125. I am now 137 and, despite being in a caloric deficit for 6 weeks, cannot lose a single pound. Those of you who have gained weight on gabapentin, what’s your dosage? Also, is 600 mg per day considered a low dose of gabapentin? Does it really make people gain weight ? I lost 15 pounds from taking it since February. This article will provide clear guidance on how to mitigate and potentially stop weight gain associated with gabapentin use, offering practical strategies and insights to help you manage this side effect effectively. I knew gabapentin could make you more hungry and gain weight that way, but I am not more hungry on it and actually eating less than I was before. However - I can’t lose weight. It’s completely stalled. The issue isn't fat with gabapentin and pregabalin. Calcium channel blockers cause fluid retention. This is what causes the weight gain. So if you go on a diet or you exercise you tend to burn calories and reduce fat but the fluid retention stays there. First I got off Gabapentin for 6 weeks. I lost nearly 40 pounds, without doing anything. I was rapidly gaining weight on a less 800 calorie diet. I shot up from 160 to 210 in 6 months. I adjusted my dosage to start taking less Gabapentin. I noticed eating makes the bloating and weight gain worse. 10 votes, 19 comments. I have been prescribed to take gabapentin 1-3x daily, 100mg pills for anxiety. I have taken abilify and geodon before I've gained 44 pounds/20 kg in the course of one year. The only change was that I was upped from 300mg per day to 1800mg. No change in diet, not eating any more than I did before. Therefore, I'm chalking it down to a mix of slower metabolism and water retention.
