don't know what happened there but my doctor increased my pregablin to 600mg per day , slowly but surely I've gained weight , I'm not sure if its the illness or treatment causing it , I've always been a 10-12 now I'm moving up to a 14-16 and my stomach is the worst looking as if I'm 6 months pregnant ( people have actually had the cheek you ask when im due ) .pleasehelp as the extra weight doesn't help when I have a flare up
im on 300mg a day now and ive been on lyrica about 8 weeks ive gained 20lbs .. and my dose was doubled last week as the 1st dose didnt help with the pain in my legs and feet at all
