If you suffer from seizures, nerve issues, or fibromyalgia, you may be prescribed Lyrica. This drug can treat these issues effectively, but has side effects like increased appetite, food cravings, and a slower metabolism. To avoid gaining weight while on this drug, you can maintain a diet that is healthy and balanced and stay active with regular exercise. If Lyrica is not working for you, speak to your doctor about your options. Do not go off of Lyrica without first speaking to your doctor to confirm it is safe for you to do so.
