Day 1, well ½

Took my first tablet when I got up.

About 5 hours later my anxiety hit the roof, bad as ever, already upset my wife with my paranoia, obsessions and overanalysing of everything. Back to how I was at my recent worst.

Hoping to ride it out for a few days, it could be the pregabalin withdrawal acting on me too.

I think I'll know by my birthday on Saturday (good timing to try a new drug!) whether I'll be able to cope with these.

If it causes insomnia, which really spikes my anxiety, I'll be off them like a shot, but I'm hoping my usual mirtazapine will help me get some rest.
