IS Lyrica a good drug for anxiety ? What have you noticed on you with Lyrica ? IS it Real that you must take Lyrica more and more to have the same effect After a couple of weeks or months ?.
Idk about lyrica but gabapentin helps me a lot
No. No. No.
Less short term than Benzos
But basically shite
The dose goes up and up
The alternative would be an AD that agrees with you
This is the only long term option I have been given

I am on pregabalin. Is a massive weight gainer for me. I haven’t increased the dose but am certain I would have a real hard time quitting it.
Plus it makes me really dizzy - like dangerous on stairs dizzy
Wow I didn’t gain any weight on gabapentin. Does it even help with your anxiety?

Yep it does help anxiety a fair bit. But don’t particularly like this med

Do you eventually build a tolerance to Gabapentin like with benzos and the benefits ware off or do you maintain them?
Honestly idk… I should have asked my pdoc
If that is the case then I guess I will have to rely on the busbar

Clonazepam is great for anxiety, panic disorders but to get off it is extremely hard. I been taking it for almost 10 years now
What does you at?
I’m taking 0.5mg a day right now and my new pdoc wants me to get off it

Klonopin is great if you are not an addict
It really works best at a low dose and on an as needed basis
I take 0.5mg only as needed
