Has anyone had a pain med cause a cycle?


Recommended Posts

On Monday I was prescribed Neurotin for a nerve pain. A friend (BP) was prescribed it for a mood stabilizer a few weeks ago. I have been out of my Celexa for a couple wks (waiting on Dr approval for refill). I went to see a Neurologist and she doubled the dose on Thursday and today my moods are ultra cycling. Has anyone else had any experience with this cocktail and side effects? Have you gained weight from any of the aforementioned meds?

lamictal has mild, mild, mild, Ad effects in some people, so i guess it could cause you to cycle. i'm not really seeing it, but anything's possible.

the cycling may have more to do with stopping the celexa honestly....

Is she on Lamictal? I thought she was asking about Neurontin-- either I am missing something (wouldn't surprise me) or that's a typo ^ about the Lamictal.

As for the question, I'd bet it's stopping the Celexa, too. I've never heard of Neurontin doing that, and it's never done it to me (I take the generic, gabapentin). It's possible I gained some weight on gabapentin, but I didn't on Celexa. Hard to put on weight with chronic diarrhea...
