I stopped taking Lyrica after 1 week. it made me dizzy, which the doc said would go away, but it also make as hungru as a horse ALL OF THE TIME i absolutely could not satisfy my hunger..shoulda tried a snickersLLOL
Yeah I went up a few in just the one week and i was still exercising 4 days /wk at that time.
I've never been particularly vain, but that was too much, and you know that you don't need and extra 30 lbs to drag around on an already tired body
