Suggest Treatment For Severe Weight Gain While On Lyrica
I am currently taking 300mg lyrica at night if I don t take it I can barely walk the next day. Over the last 3mths that I have been on this drug I have gained 6kg and this extra weight effects my back & hip joints. Can you please assist me in another either drug or none drug to replace lyrica or something to counteract this extra weight I am carrying regards Trish
