Long time no see Mark.
*raising hand* I too did the weight gain thing. To the tune of about 25lbs. YIKES!! Way more than I wanted to gain. I would love to loose all that I have gained in the last 4 yrs. I feel like a whale at times. Lyrica also makes me sleepy to the point that I fall asleep watching TV or reading very easily. I must say tho, that since going on it over a year ago, I have slept the whole night thru for the most part.
When it is in your feet, RSD, it is really hard to loose weight. I can't afford to go to a gym to do the weight end of exercise. And the indoor heated pool is too far away to go to 3 times a week to exercise in. My body has gone to soft fabby baby fat again. But when I try to go off Lyrica I can tell the difference in the nerve pain. And I only take 50mgs 3 X's a day. I am also still on Neurontin, 900mgs, 4 X's a day also. Together they work very well.
