Lyrica

[Dolly12]

Hi,

I have been prescribed Lyrica for anxiety & have been on it for about a year.  

It has proved very good for my anxiety but I have put on a lot of weight, has anyone else found this.

Thanks.

I've been on  lyrica nearly 8 years and at first I out on a little weight but now I'm just as I were before, lyrica does give you an appetite though that's for sure

Hi

I am also taking Lyrica and have been on it for just over 2 months.

It helped my anxiety right away but it didn't last.

I take 75 Mgs twice a day. I'm afraid to increase the dose in case it just stops working again.

Not sure what to do, any advice?

75mg is a very low dose maybe upping to 150mg will probably make you feel better if it doesn't last and you feel bad again you can always wean odd and try another med

Thank-you.

I have tried many meds over the last few years with no success.

I don't know what I'll do, I just know I am worn right out.
