Hi, Patti... I really was worried about the weight gain but that was when I was on 150mg. Every 4 hours and now am on the same as you, 75mg every 12 hours. Not being able to move around like pre TM also attributes to the weight gain for me.
Some don't seem to be bothered with weight gain at all! It does work tho and for me, also in about 20 minutes. There are times when I do too much that I need to take an additional one but not often. I sure wouldn't want to give it up. I'm happy enough with it that I really don't want to change it!

I hate to hear that about the Lyrica, because you are one of the reasons I was willing to give it a try. I only take 75mg every 12 hours so I still have break-through pain, but I like that it starts working in 20 minutes.
