I’m on 25mg twice daily, then went 50mg to wife daily, now back on 25mg twice daily until I finish. I hated the side effects on 50mg, I couldn’t handle it. I have muscle pain, lack of concentration, dizziness, dry mouth. I drink 4 bottles of water every day. I’m hungry 24x7. I keep eating in small portions, and healthy snacks, cut down carb, no sugar. I have mostly water retention. As soon as I come off of Lyrica, the water retention will go away. I haven’t weighted myself because I don’t wanna add to my negativity. I’m going to keep exercising as well. Keep your healthy lifestyle and you should be fine.

I didn’t know Lyrica’s side effects was weigh again, I’ve been on 50 x 3 times a day for around almost 3 years now, started off with 25 2 x a day. And I’m here thinking it’s because I’m not doing much because I can’t, I’m sure part of it is, from a car accident.

Lyrica has been great to me, I take 100 mg twice a day. And I've been doing so for about a year, I came off of gabapentin that I had been on for almost 10 years. And I would say there are some side effects with Lyrica that I experience but for the most part not nearly as bad as if I was taking gabapentin. I drink a ton of water though, since I also have interstitial cystitis it works out.

I have gained a good deal of weight on Lyrica but it's hard to tell how much I can attribute to that specifically since there are other factors. I've really come to love my fat body though. I feel confident.

It worked so well for me, but the weight gain has been brutal, 60 pounds in a year and a half. Thankfully, it generally comes off when you stop the medication!

Ohh I gained 80ish lbs and couldn't get it off no matter what. They just put me on a diabetes med and the weight came off realllllly quickly. It was insane.
