Here in Britain, Lyrica is licensed for GAD. It's an anti-convulsant, as is Depakote. Although it works on GABA (as does Lyrica), I think it works in a slightly different way (although I could be wrong).

I've heard that Lyrica loses it's effectiveness over time as tolerance develops, although I remember reading the results on an experimental trial where people suffering from GAD were given Lyrica. Over a period of three months patients were given Lyrica or placebo - the results reported no evidence of tolerance in the patients receiving Lyrica over the three months.

Maybe worth posting a thread on the effectiveness of Lyrica on anxiety..?
