Is that a talent, or just a handle? LOL I took Lyrica for a couple of months, and it didn't cause any swelling for me. It did make me feel emotionally worse, which is why I stopped taking it. But many other people have said that Lyrica caused them to put on weight, although I always took this to mean general weight, and not swelling of any part of the body.

There are several good and lengthy threads on Lyrica at this site. If you click on search at the top of the page, and then use the key word Lyrica, I think you'll find plenty of info. In the meantime, I hope someone else comes along who can help you better. Either way, welcome to the site, and I really hope that you like it enough to come back once in a while.

Good Luck!
