I was searching for some posts and found yours her about gabapentin.
I take pregabalin sometimes for pain. Up to 30mg 3 times a day. I find it very relaxing. Much more so than valium, Xanax or Klonopin. Even perphenazine but this one is of course more numbing.
Anyway the Lyrica makes me feel almost high at first. It definitely relieves my anxiety. Even at a lower dose. I have taken 15mg at a time and it calms me.
For me unfortunately both pregabalin and gabapentin make me much more depressed. The pregabalin makes me feel more depressed, lethargic, most symptoms associated with depression while my trial with gabapentin made me FEEL, I could not stop crying. You might want to do a search on the site, people, including me have discussed this before.
Good luck,oky
