Thank you all!! I am off the Lyrica and on Cymbalta instead. It works very well and I have been able to increase my activities. I also found a probiotic that aids in weight loss and it's working. I'm down 23 lbs. Thank God!! I have to say Lyrica helped tremendously, but the weight gain made everything else much worse!

Well I am sorry that all of you are having problems with lyric but for me it has been a big help, and I am not gaining or losing and for that I am grateful

Hang in there, sometimes there is not a good "workaround" to deal with side effects that doesn't cause more issues and a whole new problem. I think you are definitely on the right track, I couod not stand the lyrica and was only on it for a couple of days before my face and hands started swelling and my brain went on vacation. Not good. After deciding not to take it, I was unswollen in about 12 hours. I know side effects are often different for everyone but I'm not seeing a lot of positive feedback on lyrica. Good luck!

Oooh where do we start, I was fine the first year, now I am 3 stone heavier. I am so sick of my body as it's sitting in my belly but my jeans started falling of a month ago. So where is the wait coming from. I have pain in my hips and walking is painful.

I learnt lymph problems causing swelling therefore not flushing toxins. If you find a solution let me know

Hi Marthafay. Actually Cymbalta is working better than the Lyrica ever did. I still have brain fog - but not quite as bad. I haven't seen any side effects like I did with the Lyrica either. I started on Cymbalta about 7-8 months ago - if memory serves me correctly. Good luck!!
