Have anyone that’s been on avonex or currently on it experience weight gain? My weight is constantly going up since the first I started it. I worked hard to get my weight off only to have it gain back. It sucks

Gabapentin weight gain indeed. Bloat. Water weight holds on. Exercise and watch that salt and fat. MS makes us not who we were or ever will be again.
