A member asked:
What is the best solution in losing weight on pregabalin? i take it for my chronic pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common side effect. You could switch to a different nerve pain medication. You could increase your exercise, and decrease food intake, and even consider one of many diets. Portion sizing may work. Discuss all of this with your doctor. A virtual consult here at HT may provide guidance.
