@DM-eo6zw I'm just going off my personal experience. I was on lyrica for nerve pain (for reoccurring shingles on my head)for several years and it put alot of weight on me no matter the diet or exercise. I then got off lyrica and went on to topamax for the headaches and because the Med is wt neutral or possibly can help wt loss. Topamax can reduce cerebral spinal fluid. Topamax help some with the headaches but just changing meds I dropped weigh consistently for several months (25-30kg) without really trying and the intracranial hypertension headaches went. I still get headaches but are related to the shingles and are a very different type of headache. So I think in my situation it was from the wt gain I got off lyrica, how excess wt increases pressure, I don't know. It was frustrating time seeing specialists and finding out what was going on. From what I researched on it, weight loss if your overweight is the main treatment or they can put shunts in to drain the fluid or take topamax. The money spent on specialists didn't really help other than rule out other conditions. It was my idea to get off lyrica and go on topamax. Good luck 🤞

And the answer is...stay tuned.
