Lyrica! Yes I read all the blurb as well. I was started on 25mgs at night to stop the Stigmata as I call it. Waking with extreme pain in hands, feet as if someone was driving a nail through them. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Glad to report, it did what it was supposed to do, no more Stigmata pain, let alone neuropathic pain. I have not lost or gained weight, my appetite is the same, energy level the same, still drive, still walk three miles three times a week, have just demolished two cheese toasted sandwiches. Obviously it has helped the sleep, now sleep through the night, whereas before would wake up due to pain. Hope that helps, Good Luck
