Is weight gain when using Lyrica primarily due to Edema (water retention)?

I wonder if the weight gain reported when using higher doses of Lyrica is actually due to Edema, or water retention?

If that is the case, then perhaps the use of a water pill while using Lyrica would help prevent the weight gain.

Thoughts?
