I am getting rally excited about pregabalin which will be released in europe in about 1 month. It is supposed to have similar effectiveness with the benzos for anxiety w/o tolerance and withdrawl. If you go to pubmed.com and search for pregabalin and anxiety you will find tons of studies that compare pregabalin with klonopin etc. and most of them show same efficacity w/o the drawbacks. It's about time that a "true" anti anxiety med comes out, since the benzos have been the only real option up to now, but their tolerance makes them anoying choice to use.
Pregabalin is supposed to be released in us towards the end of this year. However, you might be able to get it from europe in 1 month.
Any comments?
