Default Lyrica and weight gain......
Has anyone experienced any weight gain when taking Lyrica?? I have been eating well since my surgery back in April and have lost 14 lbs. I started on Lyrica 9 days ago have gained 7 lbs since. I can't seem to quit eating while on it.

Does anyone else have suggestions?

Thanks,
Seann

Default Lyrica
I too gained weight very fast while on Lyrica. Even though it did help, I just could not justify adding to already existing problems. I stopped taking it.

Default weight gain
Lyrica and Neurontin being in the same family are both big weight gainers
