I have type 2 diabetes along with Addison's disease, migraines, fibromyalgia, m.e /cfs,osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and around 18 other conditions. I was on 1200mg a day of pregablin and put ova 5 stone In 2 yrs on them. They are the most notorious drug iv ever known for weight gain. I went from 12 st to 18stone + and now I'm in a situation where my weight makes all my joins pain so bad that I'm bedbound most the v90time with absolutely NO appetite Eva. The only thing that I can eat is vio-life dairy n lactose free cheese n ham which is soo yummy especially in crackers. I guess Wat I'm saying is that food us not our only enemy for weight gain. Our additional medication is the worst culprit.
Have you read this post from @Omnipod? He used a combination of supplements.
Hello. I also have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and legs and have tried most drugs all which had bad side affects, until I read a newspaper article from a Pain specialist who said that using Duloxitin and pregabalin together would help. I had tried both on their own but had stopped both because of side affects, but had a word with my doc who agreed to try this method and put me on lower doses of the two drugs, miraculously this worked for the last eighteen months until recently with no side affects. Unfortunately the pain has suddenly returned and I am going to the Doctors to see if the doses can be increased. It is definetly worth a try. All the best.
