I haven't been on here in forever due to other issues but I too took Lyrica for only a week and started gaining and dropped the med real quick but not the weight. I am working on that now. I steadily gained for months though after I got off of it due to not being able to get back into my regular eating habit.

I actually think it's what brought on my Metabolic Syndrome and Motility related Dyspepsia which I am now dealing with. My intestines started slowing down around the same time. I just went through a colonoscopy and endoscopy to figure out what was going on. My cholestral is back up to 345 and my blood pressure is too high now. All just started after the Lyrica and the weight gain. I gained 17 lbs in all.

I don't come on much anymore due to trying to get myself in better shape with this, due to exercising now.

I also deal with pelvic pain and the lyrica didn't help with it anyway. My RSD is doing much better it's just other issues.

I am glad to see it helps so many people but when the weight gain comes on and then other issues pop up then you think which is worse. My Dr. is worried over my high blood pressure and cholestral now. He thinks I am in danger of a heart attack and I can't take med for either due to the pelvic pain getting worse. I would never take it again though.
