Does Anyone Else Suffer Weight Issues Due To Medication?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Brisbane, AU

Hi, I have been on Lyrica for about 6 months and have put on about 12 kgs. The problem is it is mostly around my middle section and added to the chronic pain it is getting me down. Has anyone else experienced weight gain while on Lyrica and how do you combat it. Really need to be able to lose some of this weight as the extra kgs are making my back pain worse.
