well ... have been on the lyrica for over a month now ... really am not sure what i am suppose to be getting in the way of benefits ... i am always over doing it, what with the job, the house, the kids, and frank ... frank says i am sleeping better so i guess that is good ... and so far no weight gain ... no weight loss either .... my hips seem to be my largest problem as they are always in really bad pain ...frank gives me one of his pain pills when it gets really bad and i am in tears ... guess i am going to have to ask doctor for pain medication
