Neurontin and hunger
Has anyone on Neurontin noticed an increase in appetite? I don't know where this increase is coming from but I noticed it when I began taking it. Help!

Although I did not knowtice an increase in appetite with Neurontin any strong med in your stomach could make it increase the ammount of stomach achid it makes and thus could make you feel hungry. It that is what has happened taking it with prelief or other calcium suppliment (or even milk) should probably help.
Good luck on finding an aswer.Faith, Hope, and Love,

Hi, For me Elmiron reduces my appetite some and neurontin increases it some. For me it has been a wash and my weight has stayed the same. During the week I tapered off Elmiron ( have since gone back to my usual dose) I noticed a increase in appetite for sweets only. But compared to Elavil which I tried earlier the increase was minimal. On Elavil I gained 2 pounds a week and felt miserable. We are all so different! Wishing you the best! angel Carolyn"If you have the heart of a child, you can always look for the rainbow.
