> I finally discovered the new med I mentioned before. It does not have a trade name, but the generic is PREGABALIN. According to an artcile in the American Journal of Psychiatry, in a double-blind study, pts. on 600 mgs. of this med reported the same anti-anxiety effects as those on 6 mgs. of Ativan. And supposedly, it is not addicative. Of course, this is just one study, but if anyone has any further info, please post.
wow, 6 mg of ativan is a lot. I thought pregabalin was just an alternate form of gabapentin.
But gabapentin certainly isn't as effective as 6 mg of ativan.Comments?
