A member asked:
What can i take as a substitute for lyrica (pregabalin) without the problem of weight gain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Sometimes it is a question of dose rather than the medicine itself causing weight gain. I would look at this first then consider alternatives, especially if Lyrica (pregabalin) works for you already. Otherwise some medicine like Cymbalta may be helpful.
