Does pregabalin cause weight gain? I have been taking it since this summer and I have gained a lot of weight.

Yes, pregabalin can cause weight gain as a side effect, especially due to an increase in appetite. It is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle and dietary habits to help manage this. Consulting with a nutritionist and physiotherapist can also be helpful in creating a realistic plan for diet and exercise. Many group insurance plans cover these services.
