    I have been on Lyrica for 6 months. I take it for nerve damage in my legs caused from blood clots. The medicine is expensive ($200/month). I gained 10 lbs while on the medication and the doctor said that I would just have to deal with the gain because I needed the pain relief. The pain relief is worth the cost. When I stop taking the medication I will lose the extra weight because it is just accumulation of water.

    Narcotics didn’t help my pain. I now take Tizanidine 4mg 5/day and Lyrica Cv 100 mg 3/day. This helps the nerve pain and I can walk some now. I am feeling much better pain wise.

    I tried Lyrica for nerve pain and couldn't tolerate the awful side effects.

    But if you can tolerate Neurontin (which I was also prescribed but unble to tolerate the side effects either) the Lyrica may just work for you.
