I took Lyrica for four months, worked great for me, but I switched back to neurontin after a 22 lb. weight gain. I didn't want to deal with dieting along with everything else, I've never dropped the weight by the way. Not a horrible thing, I'm 5'5 and weighed 115 all my life, but it settled like an intertube around my stomach. I work out in my spa everyday but the tube is still hanging in there
