A member asked:
Does requip cause weight gain? does gabapentin cause weight gain? does lyrica (pregabalin) cause weight gain? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly Lyrica (pregabalin): Weight gain is more common with Lyrica (pregabalin) or Pregabalin then with Requip or Neurontin. One can counter this side effect with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Discuss your treatment options with your doctor.
