I know it is used to treat Fibro but is it any good for CMP???? Is anyone using it just for their CMP with no fibro?

I just have CMP and I had a trial of it. I didn't see any benefit but remember everyone is different. I hope it helps for you.

Take care.

I've heard it can really help some people. That said, I did a 3 month trial of it, and it did not help my pain.
in addition to not helping my pain, I had bad side effects such as weight gain (10 lbs in 3 months), extreme fatigue, and mood changes (I'm a naturally happy person, and yet while on lyrica, I felt foggy headed and much less happy than normal). But, I'm still glad I tried it because it was worth a try- and I'm even more glad to be off it now.
