      Hi again ida, I see that pregabalin is generic Lyrica, and lyrica from what I see is a medication for nerve pain and fibromyalgia and in some cases seizures. I don’t see anywhere that it’s for anxiety at all.

      I’m sorry you feel bad today, and I’m really shocked about the lyrica prescription for anxiety that’s a new one on me!! Maybe you should see a new Dr?? I’m usually always around here so if you need to talk just give me a shout and we can chat. Good luck with everything and God Bless!

    I was prescribed this too when I was on Sertraline for the first time but I also found that it made me worse so I came off it after 2 weeks.

    I take propranolol, it’s very good it stops your heart from racing and you get no side effects xx
