Default Question for Mrs. D and others regarding Lyrica and weight gain

Hello Mrs. D!

I have a question for you (and also experenced users) about Lyrica regarding weight gain.

I have begun taking just one 50mg tablet at bedtime, and found that it helps give me a great night's sleep.

I am also a 52 year old male who is 5'8" and weighs 175 pounds.

If I just take the 50mg tablet once per evening and never raise that dose, am I likely to experence the weight-gain and swelling commonly mentioned?

I had read elsewhere that the weight gain seems to be dose-dependent and I did not think that 50mg of Lyrica once per day is that high a dose
(and here is that link):

I appreciate your opinion.

Thank you!

David
