just wondering if anyone is getting put on Lyrica anymore. Seems like Cymbalta is what everyone is getting on these days.

I have to get off lyrica due to extreme water retention and hope it will be better.

I am on Lyrica - have noticed a slight weight gain, but I was on amitripiline prior to Lyrica and I no longer have the stoned effect in the morning.
I like the Lyrica as I am prescribed a 25 mg dose, but have the freedom to up it to 50 or 75 mg if need be. It took a while to start working, however
I am finding it helpful.

I have not noticed the water retention, but will definitely be watching out for that!

Have you been on Lyrica for long. I have only been taking it for just over one month.

I'm still on Lyrica and just had my dosed raised by 100 mg. I've been on it for a few years with adjusting dosages. Now just have to readjust to the side effects again. I never gained any weight from it though. I was on Cymbalta for a little while too but never did well with depression meds.

I tried cymbalta and after one dose it made me too sick to be able to take it again. I'm going to try lyrica next, I hope it doesn't have so many side effects!
