I was taking 2700 mg of Neurontin daily. Brain fog - yes but more importantly, I lost the ability to concentrate, on anything. The worst though was the negative affect on my eyesight. My pm switched me to Lyrica, which I believe I just got BC to cover and as I'm increasing the dosage, I'm again finding a negative affect on my vision. My concentration is returning, I think, but I'm also finding myself hungry all the time. I read some of the possible side effects and hunger is one of them

I thought, at 1 year post op that I wouldn't need the Neurontin/Lyrica anymore but I was wrong. Am I sol? My pm did not suggest Topamax.
