Hi, sorry not been on for a time but I've now been diagnosed with diabetes ,asthma

As well as fibro ,the problem is that while I've had some relief of symptoms with 1200mg of gabapentin daily it makes me crave sweet food and my weight is increasing ,I also suffer from crippling osteoarthritis and not very mobile , does any one have success with an alternative to gabapentin that does not have a side effect of weight gain.

I would much appreciate any advice , sending you all kind thoughts .

I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck. I use Pregabalin but this has made me put weight on.

All my hopes and dreams for you
