Hi there; I'm new here, but just had to comment. I just went off Lyrica after being on it for 5-6 months. I also had trouble with putting the wrong words in the wrong place while speaking. I recently started swelling in my feet, ankles, and legs so bad, I decided to go off of it; I also gained 15 lbs within a week. Within a few days, the swelling was gone & the weight also dropped off. This was about my only route to take, as I'm already somewhat overweight & can't exercise due to all my chronic pains. I've also read, although rarely, about people who tolerate Lyrica well. I just couldn't stand having my normally small ankles look so huge, and was very uncomfortable with the extra weight. Hope this helps! Chlobert

Just wanted to bump this up. In case anyone didnt catch it. The FDA this past week approved it for on label use for FM. Not sure if I really care. Does anyone else have the same reaction?
