Thank you Scott.
I have anxiety/ocd/ issues. My sleep is getting worse and I am started to get depressed due to lack of sleep and the inability to shut off my mind. I just get stuck on things. I have never been diagnosed bipolar but I wonder if such a medication might slow me down, allow me to sleep, and reduce anxiety. Benzo's are out as are ssris. My pdoc is good and willing to try things but to tell you the truth I am scared. Remeron was bad as was paxil and luvox. Benzo's seem to calm for a short period but the rebound anxiety is terrible.
Was your reaction to lyrica not the norm? It seems so many people find it rather good for sleep and anxiety. Nardil seems to be a possiblity for me since I see in literature it is used for panic/ocd. I am afraid of the sleep issues though. What to do....
Thank you
johnj
