I have been going down with me Neurontin dosage. I went from 2600 to 600 mg currently. I think I will go to 300 mg very soon and then finally leave it .Do you think It would be worth to try Lyrica?
Neurontin helped just a little bit and sometimes... I was a little more prosocial and I felt and I really like a human being with feelings. However this effect didnt last too much so I had to keep increasing the dose with the same effect a this terrible weigth gain.This Social phobia/ Depression its a hard thing to treat
Do you think It is worth to try Lyrica ?Thanks!

Lyrica will probably help with your social phobia,
but you must determine the proper dose and never increase that dose.The reason is that Lyrica is easy to misuse.
I think that this drug is worth a try.

>I was on Lyrica for some time for GAD and panic disorder. I stated at 300mg per day and went up to the maximum dose of 600mg. It was mildly effective to start with but it soon faded until it had no beneficial effect at all, even at the top dose. It was fairly good with side effects. I just got some forgetfulness and also tended to experience weird dreams. Didn't get any weight gain at all.

Lyrica was stronger than Gabapentin, but made me depressed. It was ok for my anxiety.
Another drug to try is Gabitril. Very helpful for anxiety.
