I'm taking Lyrica at 150mg twice a day and Trileptal at 600mg at night and 300mg in the morning which does the trick for my PN but I discovered by accident that 5mg of prednisone a day took my numbness from the knee (and me falling down a lot) clear back down to my ankle and I've been on that dose for a couple of years now. If I cut down prednisone, the numbness rapidly starts creeping up again.

Anyway, my weight won't go away but I had it already from having to be on long term steroids off and on for a few years. I haven't gained any weight from either Lyrica or Trileptal.
