Bloating

Updated

I am wondering if any of you who take Lyrica are having a problem with bloating. I've gained only ten pounds in a year and I think it's all in my abdomen. By evening it's really uncomfortable, not pain, just a very full feeling that goes clear up under my rib cage.
My sciatic pain is zero until I try to wean off Lyrica and then it returns quickly.
Just curious!

Bloating. yes, and weight gain in abdomen, gained 18 pounds since January, and the bloating is incredble abdomen only, actually as you said in the eveninig it pops up under my ribs, almost ludicrously so- like in a cartoon.... I looked down yesterday on left center under the rib and it was like a small asymmetrical bulge. I have never had tummy or mid tummy weight issues, but this is like being pregnant!!!! was wondering if it was the cymbalta or Lyrica but I have taken Cymbalta off and on for years, no problem. The lyrica is new to me and I am have gained weight, and am sleeping 16 hours a day!! always tired and have been to my pcp, rheumatologist, and endocrinologist.....no answers. So , gee, maybe it is the Lyrica???? I will wean off this week and see...thanks for writing and reading....

What types of tests did your doctors do?

Bloating like that, especially that worsens in the evening, might be a sign of fluid build up that could lead to congestive heart failure and should definitely be checked for.

being a diabetic i have neuralgia and hence on both lyrica and gabapantin. yes bloating very much in my abdomen otherwise call it gas. it looks common with lyrica for a pure vegetarian. doctors do give pantaprozole along with creon or pancreaflat but lo it continues. i am trying unienzyme as alternative and let us pray it goes well with this octogenerian.
