I did not gain weight, but it did not work for me, the Lyrica. Certainly Tramadol can be given. But it takes a while to build Lyrica up in the system, so one has to wean off of it, while adding in the tramdol. You cannot just switch one for the other. There is a method to it.

I have been on Lyrica for more than a year and haven't gained weight.

I start to gain weight on lyrica when my dose goes above about 150mg. Below that it doesn't seem to affect my appetite so much. It only helps with my rls as part of a cocktail of drugs. I found it useless on its own.
