Weight loss and chronic fatigue

[Guest guest]

Is there a medication that treats Chronic Fatigue/ Fibro symptoms and, as a side

effect, causes weight loss?

I am up 30 plus pounds from Fibro meds, swelling, etc. I am 43.

I'm no longer on the meds that made me big, but my weight is still up.

If you found a med that relieves symptoms and helped you lose weight, please

tell me about it!

Thanks,

Lori

I was on Lyrica for 1 1/2 years. It caused me to gain weight - especially water

weight. I've been on Savella now for 1 1/2 years and I've lost the weight I

gained with Lyrica plus 10 more pounds. It's a hard drug to get on and you need

to spend about three weeks getting up to your full dose. It has helped with

pain and sleep. Good luck. Anne
