"Doc put me on Lyrica 50 mg twice a day.  The first two weeks were AMAZING, I was doing things I haven't been able to do in many years.  HOWEVER, let me just say IT DOES CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN AND MINE WAS NOT FROM OVEREATING.  In fact, I was hardly hungry at all and when I do eat, it is usually fruits and veggies.  I was even working out every day. The last day I took Lyrica (I only took it for one month), it made me so freaking miserable, I went home in tears.  My stomach swelled up like I was malnourished and every time I would bend over, I would throw up water or whatever I had just put on my stomach.  It was AWFUL!  In a month, I gained over 10 lbs. NOT COOL!"
