Yes, you stop smoking (good) but you will probably gain weight (bad); but the good from stopping smoking outweighs the bad from the weight gain. IMHO RAINBOWPED@...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 1999 Report Share Posted June 4, 1999 From a message from Edie: < > Your question reminded me of one of my more recent visits to a psychiatrist, I had asked him the very same question in regards to Neurontin and Paxil as well and the response I received was quite matter of fact: " Just bear in mind little lady, that any time you are prescribed psychiatric or neuroligical meds, you run the risk of putting on anywhere between 15-35 pounds. " I realize that's not helpful, but from my own experience very true. The problem I have is taking it off because usually it's the metabolism that's affected and slowed down considerably. I've rationalized that the extra weight I could live with if the medications were of benefit to my symptoms. Tough One!
