Hi there! Well that is a loaded question! I was addicted to Klonopin for 10 years and gained about 130 lbs. during that time period. I can't say that it was 100% the Klonopin because a lot of other stuff was going on in my life too - but I remember in the early stages of taking the drug, I wouldn't eat during the day and then I would binge at night - totally ravenous.
Singer Stevie Nicks reports similar addiction/weight gain on Klonopin.
I did try Neurontin briefly but I don't remember any weight-related changes. I just remember that I didn't like it at all.
Good luck to you. Klonopin and other benzodiazepines are highly addictive so I would steer clear if I were you. I lost 10 years of my life to a Klonopin-induced fog...
