I have chronic pain. I have been to a pain clinic. They said I had myofascial pain syndrome. Now they say it i in the brain stem and want me to see a doctor for behavoir modification. I take neurotin (600 MS 2x daily) for nerve pain, soma (350 mg 2x daily) for muscle spasm, ultam( 100mg 3x daily, clonazepam ( 1 mg 3x dail), celexa (20 mg at night), amitriptylineHCL (200 mg at night). With all this, there are still nighs I can't sleep. I look into Lyrica, but I lost 30 lbs over the last thre years. The information I found reported a weight gain of 50 lbs. Do youhave any advise?

And yes, Lyrica causes weight gain. I refuse to take it for my fibro because I'm already overweight.
