Hello, Deanna! How are you?

Lyrica is an anticonvulsant that has also been proven effective at treating certain types of nerve pain and as a mood stabilizer.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision and yes, weight gain… but not everyone experiences these side effects. The only thing you can really do is try it and find out how it affects you.

Is there anything else I can help with?
