Pregabalin is a nightmare when it comes to weight gain so I really do deal for you.
Personally, Ive developed an eating disorder due to 20 years of medications including Pregabalin messing with my weight. I hardly eat yet I’m overweight 
Ultimately, I constantly have to remind myself that it’s a pro vs con weighing scale scenario.
A bit of weight gain or constant pain?
Of course it’s also problematic in that the extra weight causes problems due to the additional stress on your joints.
Speak with your MS Nurse - if they are good then they will look at your overall medication programme
