Just to add...
Lyrica and Gabapentin are approved for anxiety in Europe. Have you considered / tried either of these meds? They are anticonvulsants and likely have a bit more efficacy in anxiety.
Not sure if you've tried penibut (a supplement). It operates via the same mechanism as lyrica / gabapentin. If you haven't tried phenibut, you might order / try this to see if it helps your anixety. If it does, there is a decent chance that lyrica or gapapentin will help anxiety.
If I could chose between lyrica or tegretol for anxiety, I would chose lyrica. If there was a mood disorder (i.e. bipolar) with it, then I'd go for tegretol.Linkadge
