Yes and ong you sound like me out I sound like you..I've been dx with fibro and cfs post op since 99..lyrica eh..I'm getting off it due too what I heard about the fda not testing it. This is PAIN x 100 + I have slipped disc, pinched nerves and fusions..walking really helps me..hood luck with your meds, you'll find the right "cocktail; to help..it's a work in progress
Peace

My best suggestion is to go online and read all you can about Lyrica...the side affects...the withdrawal symptoms. I took it for a short time and had to get off as I had some life threatening side affects. Do your reasearch and talk to your pharmacist for additional info.....we all have to take respnonsibility for what we take and make ourselves our priority...Hugs

@A MyFibroTeam Member I cannot take Gabapentin as it is a generic form for Neurontin an I cannot take that it gave me a seizure. I have been on Lyrica now for about 2 weeks an I have not noticed any weight gain as of yet.

Hi, Did you gain weight with gabapentengabapenten? Once you stopped Lyrica.

I gained 45 lbs. It really didn't work. Everyone I know gained a lot of weight.
I like Gabapenten and for pain I take Oxycodone . It's the only one that helps. I've been on it for 10 years.
