Hi J
>I have found it very helpful for social anxiety. It removes the inner tension that I usually feel all the time, and has a slight anti-depressant effect.
That's good news :) What dose are you taking? Lyrica was recently approved in the UK (and the rest of the EU) for the treatment of generalised anxiety disorder. Here is some information on the dose........
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
The dose range is 150 to 600 mg per day given as two or three divided doses. The need for treatment should be reassessed regularly.
Pregabalin treatment can be started with a dose of 150 mg per day. Based on individual patient response and tolerability, the dosage may be increased to 300 mg per day after 1 week. Following an additional week the dosage may be increased to 450 mg per day. The maximum dosage of 600 mg per day may be achieved after an additional week.
>BTW Ed, I started Rozerem at the same time. It puts me to sleep but I still wake up after 3 or 4 hours
Rozerem isn't generally effective for maintaining sleep :( You may need additional medication to keep you asleep.
Regards
Ed
