Hi! I took Lyrica post my lobectomy (2022) and wedge resection (2024) and Tramadol. I don’t like the effects of oxycodone so never take it.

I found the Lyrica reduced the nerve pain tremendously and would have been lost without it. I suffered no sedation and no weight gain. I’d read that it can increase appetite but never experienced that.

Everyone is reacts differently to medication. I’d suggest giving it a try and weigh the benefits versus effects.

Best of luck!.
