> > Ed, I have having thoughts of Lyrica. I once had a doc put me up to 900mgs of it, i was able to drive long distances alone on it, did fun things like golfing etc. Giving that one a thought, what do you think? Seems all of the other anticonvulsants are so harsh for me.

> Lyrica is known to be effective for generalised anxiety in some cases, at least in the short term. It's not an established treatment for mood disorders though. Non-serious side effects are very common eg. sedation and dizziness. Serious side effects are uncommon so I guess it might be worth a try. Difficult to say. What do you think?

>Interesting that i had some success on lyrica in the past. Maybe i was just stoned and high at 900mgs. But driving long distances for the first time in a long time, able to stay in hotel rooms just fine. I believe that i needed a stimulant added for concentration, but that would obviously be a no go with the benzos now.
