Is anyone on the medication Lyrica and had trouble losing weight?

I was on this for a short time last summer when I had a lumbar injection that went bad. It made me feel weird, so weird, in fact, I couldn't take it like they wanted me to take it and then I stopped all together. All in all, I was probably on it for 3 weeks or so and I gained weight on it. I never really put much credence into the whole "my medications make me not able to lose weight" deal, but I do believe it now. That stuff is horrible when it comes to your weight.
Since I stopped taking it, I don't have any experience about overcoming its weight loss sabotage activities. Sorry I can't help. But maybe it is a little help to know it is a real issue. Maybe talk with your doctor about what options you may have. There are other medications with less side effects maybe?
Good luck.0 -
