I have had to struggle with my weight my whole life, so this is quite disheartening for me. I just hope the Lyrica works as well for me and I don't create a monster!!
I am on Gabapentin also and thought about a shift to Lyrica but as I tend to get used to the dosage over time I am keeping Lyrica for the future- does this make sense?
