Has anyone on high doses of Neurontin notice weight gain and tooth decay as a side effect?
I'm on 2700mg daily for 3 years now and I've put on a lot of weight (most of it fluid in my legs) and I am having trouble with my teeth (could also be made worse by the fact sometime brushing my teeth is a trigger).

Hello- I am new to the group

My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending. She said that there are needs and there are wants. She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it? The answer is mostly "no". So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed. I also bought sheets that I don't need...
The weight gain from neurontin is usually temporary.
Stay hydrated, as mild dehydration will cause you to feel tired, and when taking this medicine, take it with plenty of liquid.
Do a regular wake up routine flexing your toes, feet, ankles, legs, knees, hips to help the muscles wake up in flow motion which will help you reduce the swelling in the legs.
Have the doctor check out your legs as well.
Best wishes.
