I know how you feel. Its very annoying, especially with drugs as new as this. Hopefully they will give us the benefit of the doubt, as there is no evidence *yet* to suggest addictive properties. The good thing is, it has been designed to address the tolerance issues of neurontin - if there really are no tolerance issues then its certainly got one up on the benzos there.
> I'm wondering what is the best aproach to treating my social anxiety and ADD?I really don't know much about this stuff, but I've been interested in some people's reports about dopamine deficiency causing these symptoms. I've said this before today, but I'm interested in drugs like Amisulpride which seem to do great things for dopamine.
> The alternatives are either to pay to see a private doc, which would be expensive. Alternativly I could try to buy Pregabalin over the internet, which would be cheaper in the short term, but would have its own disadvantages!
Hmm is it legal to do that? Would be interested about that one. To be perfectly honest with you I wouldn't recommend a private doc even if you have the money. I have been private for a couple of years, but have had no success so far, as far as I'm concerned the only advantage is more convenient waiting lists/appointment times. I'm transferring to the NHS after this appointment, its costing too much and I'm not getting anything back.John :)
