hey everyone

i was on 600mg pregabalin for anout a year, and withdrew by half doses for about five weeks, i'm now off it completely. i understood that the hefty weight gain would start "falling off" but its been about a month and nothing seems to be moving. i have become more active and eating less than when on the pregabalin too, but the back fat remains! can anyone tell me their experiences with weight loss post cessation, good or bad? i've got nothing to base whether this is something to worry about or not.

thanks in advance

    Hi, I am new to Pregabalin, I am sitting at 75mg twice a day, morning and night! In the last week the bloated feeling has been major, Don't get it as they say Pregabalin can help ibs suffererers which I have, I'm eating very little because of it, sticking to rabbit food!lol! due to go back to work next week and have the fear trying on my hospital work trs, this is only a low dose, how bad was yours on 600mg? The Pregabalin is supposed to help neuropathic pain but really only feel most of the benefit with anxiety just now!
