Compared to Klonopin, Lyrica has only a mild antianxiety effect in me. I remember that both Neurontin and Lyrica seemed to "brighten" colors when I first started them. That may be because of the lower doses, but blurry vision definitely occured at higher doses. Of all the things I've tried, the Klonopin/Inderal combo seemed to work the best. I like Lyrica added to low dose doxepin for sleep, however. And Klonopin was depressogenic above 0.5mg. Good luck.
