ibromyalgia
"I was on Lyrica for 5 months. It seemed to help with the pain somewhat for a while, but didn't stop it. Also, I GAINED 40 POUNDS. The doctor told me if I was careful about my eating habits that I wouldn't gain too much weight, but this was not true. After I went off it, I lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks - just from water weight. I have yet to be able to lose the rest of the weight."
