I tried Lyrica. Went off of it after 2 months due to a water retention effect. It didn't seen to be doing any thing for me anyway, but I tried.
If it doesn’t work then I would see the doctor about getting off it. I have had to try many medications over the years and most have not worked, and a few have. A lot of trial and error. You know what works and what doesn’t and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
I take 500 mg a day no miracle so will probably go off it,didn’t gain a lot of weight about 5-7 pounds but that’s me eating more sweets 💗💗💗but I know lyrica makes you more hungry so definitely weight gain
I take it and it helps with the nerve pain on me. I know it if I don't take it. Unfortunately yes loads of weight gain these past years being on it. My Dr had me on that and cymbalta for years but switched the cymbalta out for a different depression med that seems to work better now.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I have taken Lyrica for a number of years. I take 150mg twice daily. Yes the side affects are bad, such as weight gain, jerking and blurry eyes. It is the only medication that gets me out of bed in the morning so I don't see any other choice. Hugs
