A member asked:

Does lyrica or neurontin cause acne or pimple breakouts?? is it a reported side-effect???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The main side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, and foot swelling. An allergic reaction could cause a skin eruption or hives, but NOT focal acne or pimples. See your local dermatologist.
