Hi All,

When I started Lyrica in August it was a Godsend, took away the nerve pain and burning and was able to sleep. Did not notice the headache thing but possibly it made it better.

But then 30 lbs came quickly

I just weaned myself off Lyrica. Tried Cymbalta last week and it made me grumpy so I stopped but doc said I did not give it enough time

Some people have said that the Lyrica also raises blood sugar so be watchful and get it tested, don't want to be diabetic from it.

I went to metabolic doc to help me lose the weight. We developed a program for now but said that if I had to use the lyrica again that there were ways to manage the weight gain.
