A member asked:

How can i lose the weight from lyrica.i walk 5km every day, eat very little and still cant lose weight.it is a great drug. many thanks?

Not easy: Keep a detailed diary of all of your intake for a week or so. You may be eating/drinking more than you realize. After review of the diary, reduce you intake by at least 30%. With increasing age, it is harder to lose weight due to slowing of metabolism. Wish you good health!
