Lyrica seemed to help a little with the overall body pain. I did however gain 25 lbs with taking it. So, I'm no longer on it for that reason. Make sure you go to the Lyrica webpage and you can print out a discount card for insurance. It saved me $60/mo. It's good for a whole year too. It's on Phizer's page.

WendyBradley Hope this helps.
Lack of Sleep. One of the primary symptoms of FM is the inability to get the deep, stage 4 restorative sleep we need. Recent studies have shown that people who do not get adequate amounts of sleep are more likely to gain weight. Lack of sleep causes a reduction metabolism and an increase in appetite, particularly a craving for high-carb and high-sugar foods.

Neuroendocrine Abnormalities. Research has revealed several hormone deficiencies in fibromyalgia, such as serotonin, growth hormone, cortisol and thyroid, which can contribute to decreasing the body’s metabolism. There may also be an increased sensitivity to insulin, causing the body to go into a fat-storing mode.

Decreased Activity. Because of their level of pain, most FM patients are not able to increase their exercise to the levels needed to increase metabolism rates and burn the calories required for significant weight loss.

Medication. A number of medications commonly given to treat the symptoms of FM –– particularly antidepressants –– have the side effect of weight gain.

I to am on Lyrica and it does help with the all over body pain but does nothing for fibro fog, I gained 25ibs. on it as well just make sure that you have some type of pain meds for break through pain and flares because the Lyrica alone will not cut it.

It didn't help me enough to justify the weight gain.

I was about to ask this EXACT question! I am starting Lyrica today after Cymbalta did not help! I'm curious to know how others do on this medication.
