Anyone taking Lyrica?

Question

I've started taking the prescription Lyrica for my fibromialgia this month. While it works for me, I've been experiencing the side effect, "increased appetite." Normally, I do not like to eat, so it is really evident that my appetite has increased. Is anyone having the same issue? Does anyone have any tips as to how to deal with it without eating everything in sight?

Answer 1

I don't happen to suffer from seizures or fibromialgia nor I'm I diabetic, so Lyrica wouldn't be anything for me.

It's used for damaged brain nerves and slowing down impulses to the brain, it's to ease the pain on the patient.

"increased appetite", is one of the less effective side effects.

Best see you're GP.
