"I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's weight gain and swelling and none of this happened to me.  I got on phentermine 2 months before I started on Lyrica to drop weight cause I did know of the potential side effects and it has been a blessing.  I continue with half a pill of phentermine a day along with 75mg 2x a day and even dropped 5 more lbs when I started the Lyrica in February.  No swelling or hunger - maybe because of the phentermine but it's worked for me.  I also was temporarily put on Cymbalta and it did not work for me. Lyrica has taken away those everyday aches and pains you used to feel when you didn't know what was up."
