Good morning everyone! My GP prescribed me gabapentin to help rid me of hot flushes - this was at the end of August. It's certainly done this, but I have absolutely piled on pounds. I can't decide if this is fluid or fat, but honestly, even with my healthy appetite, I don't think I've eaten quite that much in just over three weeks!! Also, I have days where I ache all over, and I even resorted to a hot water bottle yesterday evening, despite the lovely mild weather, as my shoulders were unbearable. Therefore, I've not taken any further gabapentin since Friday night. I'd lost over 2 stone prior to taking it, and now seem to be right back where I started, in just a couple of weeks, and I'm so uncomfortable. Biting waistbands again, t-shirts not looking right etc etc. I've been trying very hard to get a further appointment with my GP to discuss this (he said that I should do so if I had any doubts about it), but you know what this can be like. I will persist, of course, but your wise words would really help.
