On TV they say when taking lyrica the more you move around the better it helps. How many of you find this true ? I for one do not find it true.

I have been on lyrica since I was diagnosed
I can't loose weight and I don't feel a difference. The doctors want me to loose weight but on all the meds. I just gain weight. I hate feeling like this, no relief.

Dr. prescribed it but, after reading all of the side effects, I decided not to try it. I'm already overweight and trying to lose lbs. to try to help my many health issues, don't want to hinder the progress I have made.

Lyrica did not work for me and I gained massive weight, got off because I felt it was pointless

Thanks Irene Adam's, I wasn't on it long enough to gain the weight. But the burning feeling is an reaction to the medication and you should not be using it.
