Can I stop taking Trigabantin when my pain is relieved?

How to manage weight gain associated with the use of Trigabantin?
Trigabantin can make you feel hungry which might make you eat more, thereby increasing your chances of putting on weight. However, preventing weight gain is easier than losing increased weight.

If you keep good eating habits and exercise regularly, you might not gain any weight.
