I took Lyrica for a short time and gained weight on it. I wonder how much that may be affecting your current weight. It didn't help me for my anxiety, the klonopin does. You're taking a pretty stong dose of klonopin now and if that's not working, an MAOI would be a good option for the anxiety, but I understand your concern about the weight.
Though I haven't taken an MAOI yet, I plan to add it to klonopin once EMSAM is approved (should get approved by end of February). It's an MAOI that will be delivered via a patch which I understand will limit the food problem and have a much lower side affect profile including less weight gain.
I have been ready to start Nardil for help with both anxiety and mild depression, but my doctor (who is currently writing the perscribing info for EMSAM) has suggested I wait a bit longer and try it first befor Nardil.
Anyway, something to think about.
