Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant that has also been shown to help with nerve pain and mood disorders and yes, as such, it has been known to cause weight gain as a side effect in some people that have used it.

However, just eating healthy may not necessarily cause you to lose weight, you also need to get plenty of proper exercise.
Is there anything else I can help with?
