I saw my doctor today - I haven't gained weight since I started taking just Lyrica without the Gabapentin. The Lyrica isn't enough to quell the pain though, Im having more of it than I can stand, so he's upping the Lyrica to 3 capsules twice a day instead of 2, and he's adding Cymbalta. He will put in a thing ... I can't remember the name of it - in my back, like a little capsule, on Aug. 28. I might be able to stop all of the medications - Yay! Have any of you had the little thingy - I should start another thread about the thingy but I can't remember the name ... I had a rough day, you can tell. Peggy
