The swelling.....you definately need to tell te doctor. I had severe swelling from Lyrica and had to stop taking it. Gabapentin can cause memory loss. I had that. I got so annoyed feeling sluggish, vague and forgetful I asked to come off it. Once I did memory back and not as bloated etc BUT have not been abe to find pain relief as effective. Just have to way up good and bad. Good luck.
