Has anyone on Neurotin, a drug for nerve pain noticed weight gain & hunger consumes you?

Since my Dr. put me on 4 new RX's at the same time, I'm trying to narrow down which one it is that's causing this severe appetite increase. I wake up in the middle of the night just to eat. Normally I ate one meal a day, now it's like one constant meal Help!!

    For some, it's a side effect. Neurontin is an anticonvulsant, most often used for pain management, but it's also used for epilepsy and bipolar disorder. For more info, check out this website for plain English. When their talk board is back up, ask you question. There are people there who've taken it for pain mgt.

    I never gained weight from that pill. It was the Zyprexa that did me in. :)
