knitten Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 My rheumatologist gave me a script for lyrica but I heard that it can cause weight gain. I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with this med. It is prescribed for fibromyalga. I also take celebrex and chloroquine for RA.

SashaSue Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think that, in general, lyrica is pretty weight neutral. I took neurontin, which is very similar, and had no issues with weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stars Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have to take it ever so often for nerve pain. I try not to use it too much b/c it causes me to have mental confusion much like topamax .I did notice I gained a bit of weight when I was on 200-300 mg a day.
