i have been on a combination antipsychotic(seroquel) and mood stabilizer (neurontin/gabapentin) for several years. for all the while i have been told by numerous doctors that the weight i have gained ... 60 lbs. (30 lbs. in two increments over three years)... has been due to the antipsychotic. perhaps not.
the weight gain seems to have ocurred in response to dose escalations in my neurontin and is exercise and diet unresponsive ... like antipsychotic induced weight gain.
i will attempt to switch to tiagabine and see if this has any effect on my weight.
i will let you know. does anyone have any insight on my dilemna ... gabapentin / tiagabine and weight?
