It seems to help. But I'm on a lot of other medications now too. So I was thinking about asking my Doctore to decrease it and see if I am able to lose the weight. I have been steady on diet and excercise the entire time so I can only attribute the weight gain to medications.

Mine isn't appetite, I've been eating the same as always and it's balanced and appropriate for my energy output. But the weight the last year just jumped

It does not need to be every two hours..I just time from when I last ate..i remind myself that it's ok to stop eating, i can eat again soon

I gained 40 pounds when I started lyrica. The whole time I was trying to lose, but kept gaining. I feel like I am never full. Then my doctor increased the lyrica because it could help the fatigue. I did not want to gain more. These past months I have been treating my appetite as an eating disorder of sorts. I have strong craving for carbs and sugar..anyway..we started buying mostly frozen meals and foods in individual servings. Dinner is usually a lean cuisine or similar dinner with bag of steamed veggies.(yes the whole bag).total 3-400 calories. The rest of the day I time myself. I eat 100-150 calories or so and then put two hours between mini meals. That way I am burning more than I take in. After dinner I wait three to four hours..I have this great 20 calorie cocoa mix that I use to calm cravings after dinner before my next mini meal. By go to mini 's are string cheese with a rice cake..cup a soup, any 100 calorie packs, a few nuts. A cup of breakfast cereal..I try to keep a semi balanced diet by making sure I hit all food groups. My cocoa and chicken bullion are my unlimited options. If I want cake..I simply cut a small sliver..then wait 2 hours..I should point out that I am on a high sodium diet for another issue..so this is the idea and it can be altered of course. I have lost nearly 15 of the 40 I gained..my husband loves the frozen meal option (I don't cook much anymore)..he has lost weight also..and looks for individual serving options for himself as well. This may not work for everyone..I seem to need far fewer calories than before..it has not been too hard to do..but I have a cheat day every week, but try not to go overboard on them.

I've quit all my pills except Paxil n trazodone.
Our weight will always go up n down
