I have been struggling with generalized anxiety for the last few months.
Have tried SSRI but had bad side affects so I moved to Lyrica
I started off on low dose and was very skeptical if it was going to work
Was then moved up to 200mg per day and for the first week I wasn’t noticing any different anxiety wise but I did feel my body adjusting differently it was like I was going through a transformation phase.
Third week now and I have no little to none anxiety, I am able to sit nice and relaxed in college and I am able to go to shops and shopping centers no problem.
Going back to doctor in two weeks and I reckon I’ll be finally on the dose of 300mg per day. I am absolutely delighted and I have noticed that I am more outgoing and engaging in conversations with people which I found difficult before
I would say for anyone trying this to stick it out because you will notice that all of a sudden you will be naturally doing things without realizing that your anxiety has lifted :)
