Hi, @chipper -- I'd like to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Wanted to let you know I've moved your post over to this discussion, as there are many members here who might have some thoughts on pregabalin (Lyrica) for anxiety.

You may be interested in this Mayo Clinic information on generalized anxiety disorder: http://mayocl.in/2gIAPBa.

How would you say your anxiety affects your daily functioning, @chipper?

@chipper

I've been taking 1mg, with a second available, of Klonopin for 12 years. I warn you, it's a challenge to get off it.

I took Lyrica for a few weeks for peripheral neuropathy, and it was the first med, and the only one other than morphine, that helped the pain. Unfortunately, the side effects put me in the hospital for a few days. Bummer!
