I think drugs like Neurontin and Lyrica cause swelling and weight gain. I know Neurontin did for me. I am SO glad to be off that med! They must cause water retention because swollen feet and ankles are one of the listed side effects. Seems like the side effects of the meds are almost as bad as the sx we're trying to alleviate.
