Definately persevere ems, I had all the side effects you've mentioned including the tearfulness, then one day I just woke up and everything was a lot clearer. It was like a fog had lifted, my anxiety hadnt completely gone but I could finally rationalise why it was happening and stop it!
It was about a week to 2 weeks before this started happening.

Honestly, stick with it!

Hi it is also a medication for epilepsy, most of these types of drugs make you feel like this for a few weeks.. Persevere it really does wear off, I am on it for anxiety but have taken another drug called Tegretol for years for my epilepsy. When I first took Tegretol I felt exactly the same for about 2-3 weeks and then it wore off.

I have been on Pregabalin for a couple of months 75mg a day, I guess because I was used to these type of drugs did not get any side effects. However I must confess since having my dose doubled I am feeling very hungry and a bit giddy. Mind you prozac made me very hungry too.

Persevere it really works it has helped me combined with citroplan ( not sure that is right spelling) ..
