Yes, I think Lyrica has helped with my anxieties. I have been able to cut down my benzos. Oxazepam is a benzo, similar to Ativan.
My psychiatrist doesn't like me taking Lyrica; she says I can't drive a car if I'm under the influence of Lyrica. She currently thinks I don't use it, but I got a prescription from another doctor. And yes, I am careful when driving.
I have told my psychiatrist, via e-mail, that I indeed now use Lyrica; she has been on a vacation for six weeks; I will see her next wednesday; I hope she isn't too mad at me...
But she is used to me trying to change meds by myself. this is a difficult issue, since I am an MD,PhD...
