gabapentin and lyrica both made my whole body swell. The lyrica was the worst, and I only took it for about two weeks. (coming off of lyrica sucked too. did it cold turkey)

When I mean swell, I mean I couldnt get my feet into my shoes, even my socks felt a little snug, and I gained a ton of weight. It really sucked. That was my biggest problem with those drugs aside from the lyrica making me feel like I was stoned constantly.

Convinced me that I dont want to take anything much stronger than tylenol or ibuprofen. I sometimes take valium for spasticity, but that's about it...
