Weight Gain On These Meds Lyrica Vesicare Cyplex .

I've got to take the above meds and I'm contemplating as they lead to weight gain. I've always been very active but due to my condition at the moment I'm unable. Weight gain at this stage is something that will push me over the edge. Please is there something that I can take to counter act as I need all of them but will rather just live with pain the need for the toilet instead of gaining weight.lucy

Hello, Lulu! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

The weight gain is most likely due to the Lyrica, it is an anticonvulsant that can also help with certain types of nerve pain and this class of medications is well known to cause weight gain.

Have you spoken to your doctor? There may be a different medication you can try to see if it doesn't cause you the same side effect.

How long have you been taking them? How much have you gained, so far?
