But the Gabapentin in and of itself does not make it impossible to lose weight. All the normal factors apply. You know, closing your mouth, shaking your head and getting up and do stuff rather than being a couch potato. I just started on gabapentin for anxiety and was worried about the side effects (but was willing to roll the dice because I was really in a bad place). It has already helped immensely. My understanding about the weight gain side effect is that gabapentin can increase appetite and cause water retention. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. For the five years I’ve been on Gabapentin and I still only take 300mg total per day. I have been able to gain and lose weight as normal. Gabapentin did not seem to add to any difficulty losing weight. GABAGoodness is devoted to the discussion of all GABAergics, Gabapentnoids and VDCC inhibitors such as Pregabalin, Gabapentin, Phenibut, Carisoprodol, GHB, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, and more! 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. Gabapentin at low doses attaches more efficiently to Gaba receptors and therefore stepping down, even by small decrements (e.g. 100 to 75, 75 to 50), can cause strong withdrawal symptoms (e.g. insomnia, mania). Hope that helps and that the taper goes/went well! Posted by u/freebird829 - 4 votes and 1 comment 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. In my experience it’s the appetite caused by gabapentin that leads to weight gain. After years overweight I had to find a way to control the appetite. My way is to have a small amount of protein first thing in the day. Short answer: yes. Weight gain is a known side effect of gabapentin and Lyrica. My neurologist’s office nurse said 40 lbs was typical. I was already having severe mood swings and the weight gain was pushing me to severe depression. I went off the drug, not knowing that you really, really need to titrate down carefully. 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. Have any of you been able to have a successful weight loss journey while on gabapentin? A lot of meds in the past have caused weight gain for me and so now I’m about 70-80 pounds above where I want to be and would like to lose but I have to be on gabapentin. Was weight loss possible for any of you while on it, and if so, how? Thanks :) Hello, I’ve talked about trying to lose weight on gabapentin and struggled with a bit of weight gain! I have been working out eating very healthy, tried golo, even a product called zupoo to clean out system to lose water weight. 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 So it is definitely possible to lose weight while taking gabapentin long term, but other factors gotta play into too. I gained 20 lbs. No. I actually put on weight. Seems to be the common theme.
