This is my first time posting here and really on this site. To give you some background I was prescribed Gabapentin but needed to stop taking it as it gave me terrible stomach problems. At one point I was taking 2400 mg/day. I last took Gabapentin in January and built up tolerance to it, thus the need to take more of the dose.
I was switched to Xanax but it doesn't produce the same result, and I need something like Gabapentin for my social anxiety as it worked very well. My doctor warned of the weight gain that can come with Lyrica and I'm worried about that because I just worked my butt off to lose some weight.
I'm also wondering about my tolerance from the Gabapentin, will that have any effect when I start taking the Lyrica? To start, I was prescribed 50mg 3x/day.
