Hi, I have been taking Gabapentin for 3 weeks and I too could eat any sized moose (not good as a vegetarian!!). I was hoping this woud wear off after taking it for a while? I have eaten sooooo much fruit today trying to be good! Chocolate doesn't even help!!
I have only joined this site today and I am glad I did already. It's good to know there are other people struggling with the same issues and seeing all the helpful replies.
Oh man I know this is a post from long ago, but it helps so much seeing this. I'm not just a ravenous animal it really is the medication.

Yes, me too...especially carbs. As of yet, i'm still trying to find a way to help. I talked with my doctor..but we're still talking.
I'm really frustrated by it as well. i've been overweight my whole life, but in the past couple of years i had really gotten a hold on it and had lost about 100lbs, then i started taking carbemazepine and gabapentin..and poof! all that hard work just seem to go up in smoke.
And you are right. Its not a simple "hey just put something in me" call from the belly..its "FEEEEED MEE NOW"
Sorry i'm not any help, other than co-miserating. If you figure out any help, please post it!
