I have been on lyrica for over a year for the treatment of RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). The biggest side effect that I have had has been weight gain. I have gained approx. 55lbs since I was first diagnosed 3 years ago-- At least 30 of those have been in the last year from the lyrica. No matter how healthy I eat, or how much physical therapy I do I still can not seem to shed the pounds

Hugs. I had the same problem. Now I am off the Lyrica and trying to lose the weight I have gained.

I also have had this side effect. I take Lyrica for a periphial neuropathy and it is the only thing that has worked so far. I really can't stop taking it. However, I'm sure that the tremdous weight gain only makes my neuropathy worse. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
