DO NOT START THIS DRUG!!! YOU WILL MOST LIKELY SUFFER SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT GAIN! THE INCIDENCE OF WEIGHT GAIN IS HIGHER FOR GRALISE THAN REGULAR RELEASE GABAPENTIN! IT IS LISTED AS SIDE EFFECT AND WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT A HIGHER RATE! IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCONTINUE IF YOU START SO DONT START! THEY DO NOT TELL YOU THIS WHEN THEY OFFER THE DRUG

Before, on Gabapentin, I would sometimes wake in the night as it wore off and my pain would return. This no longer happens on Gralise.

I still have really bad days and nothing may make my nerve pain go away.
