A member asked:
I have been doing research. from clinical trials, seems that lyrica (pregabalin) causes weight gain much more often than neurontin. yes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably so.: Weight gain listed as mild to moderate for both but Lyrica (pregabalin) appears to be more. As with any medication must weigh the benefits and adverse effects and manage the adverse effects to the extent possible. A good life skills approach is important for everyone, especially if faced with issues like medical conditions and medications, and can assist weight mx and other health parameters. Best regards.
