I'd be grateful to read others' (new)  experiences. I have severe GAD and Social anxiety. About 4 months ago,  my psychiatrist started me on Pregabalin, which I now take twice a day (100mg) but although it initially seemed like a miracle drug, my anxiety had been getting worse again lately, and he has switched me from "0mg Fluoxetine which I'd been taking for about 9 months to 30mg Duloxetine, with the idea of increasing the dose of Duloxetine gradually.I'd be interested to know whether others have found this combination effective? I've read a lot on here and elsewhere recently about the problems folk have had with Pregabalin (I had no idea of that before I started it!) and I'd hope if Duloxetine worked, the doc. might start tapering my Pregabalin dose as I'm concerned- and it doesn't seem to be working for me, anyway! Any thoughts/comments on this?
