I've had sciatica for over 2 months (it's stupidly painful) and I've increased gabapentin to a dose that works great - 1200mg a day.
The problem is that it's increased my appetite meaning I've stopped losing weight. I'm hungry all the time, stomach rumbling loudly.
I need to eat 1500 calories a day to lose weight - I'm eating 1900 and not losing any since I increased my dose!
It's driving me nuts as I've lost 3 stone and I need to lose more. Properly need to as I have arthritis.
