Hey all
Sorry to butt in here, I hope people don't mind
Theres quite a lot of speculation and interest about Lyrica on this board, so I feel like I ought to post my experience
Unfortunatly its quite negative :(I jumped through hoops (metaphorical hoops) to get this expensive drug.
It initially helped Social Anxiety and GAD, unfortunatly tollerance built up within days, and it started worsening my anxiety.Its a strange drug, felt kind of sedating and a bit Stimulating at the same time
It had a diretic affect on me as well, which I found a bit worryingI have to say that I started on far to high a dose, which is perhapse partly why I had problems.
On the plus side I can't imagine it having withdrawals, it felt nothing like a benzoWere all different though, "Your Millage May Vary"
Hope others have better luck with it than I didPersonally I'd go for a good old MAOI, the old drugs are often the best, in my opinion
