    Your experience with Lyrica

    Hello All. Just diagnosed a few weeks ago with Fibro and was prescribed Lyrica (50mg, every night - increasing to 75mg next week). I read a lot of reviews on the net about substantial weight gain. That worries me as I do NOT want to trade one problem for another. The only side effect for...

    Please Help- I Must Lose Weight!

    I have gained ten pounds by using the gabbapentin and can't do much in the way of exercise. I know the drill: eat less, workout more! That is so hard to do because I am sort of homebound so I make many trips to the fridge all day long. And somedays, like today, I could walk--I had a great walk...

    experiences with neurontin

    Hello, everyone.....I know this has probably been discussed, but frankly didn't want to search through everything. I hope you don't mind my asking about Neurontin, or gabapentin again. I'm going to try it, starting off extremely slowly. I'm concerned about weight gain, as I've lost 60 lbs...
