I was on Lyrica up until about 2 weeks ago. I was on 225mg daily and found it did nothing for my pain at all. But I did put on 3kg in 3 weeks! If I kept going I would have put way too much weight on, then my leg would be in more pain from carrying that weight. I know that I can't afford to put on weight like that, as I couldn't walk at all at the end of my pregnancy.
So I stopped talking it (weaned down I mean) and am no worse now without then I was on it, so I know it wasn't doing anything for me.

It seems most people either love it or hate it, there's not often an inbetween. Either it works amazingly or has no affect at all. Its definately one to try though, an important one as it can have great benefits.

I hope it works for you!
