just read through all the other side effects, and I think I should add weight gain as well -- I'd assumed my extra pounds were just from finally eating 3 meals a day after having gone months barely being able to eat a thing; thought my body was in starvation-mode and just keeping extra weight, but with all the people mentioning weight gain as a side effect I have to wonder if gaining 20 lbs in 4 months is more than my metabolism being out of synch! Lyrica does help for pain (neurological) but not so sure about the side effects.
