Default Lyrica and weight gain due to ?

a nice lady on my television set is pitching Lyrica for treating Fibromyalsia. that's new to me...but it helps my TOS. She says one side EFX is weight gain. I have that and am wondering what the weight gain is due to ? I'd like to keep taking the drug but would like to reduce those extra pounds. Is the weight gain due to increased appetite or lower metabolism or what? Someone (tam?) said her blood sugar went up due to Lyrica and when I asked a doctor he said he hadn't heard of that but offered to let me take a blood test.

I am wondering if I were to cut back the amount I take would that reduce the side effect?

so... how about a "Biggest Loser" show for people with advanced TOS?
