... felt really good for a week then the calming effect wore off and I asked GP to increase dose to 300mg. The higher dose helped me feel great for about 1 week then wore off again. I'm not really feeling any serious side effects so i'm considering if I should ask my GP to up the dose of Pregabalin to the maximum 600mg per day. However I'm worried that the "good" effect will just wear off again and I will be left in a position of anxiety but not able to increase the dose again. Has anyone of you tried the 600mg for anxiety and if so 1: could you tolerate the side effects and 2: did the 600mg dose sort out the anxiety symptoms long term?
I think the Moclobemide is working OK for me and so far not noticing any interactions

I know meds can be used for different things, but I do be leave that taking pregabalin (Lyrica) is not the best choice for anxiety being it has a very high suicide risk and there are many side effect and having to go up so much is not the best thing for you, being it is difficult to come off (my experience and others I know). You do get a good mood feeling, mine was more like feeling drunk or a light buzz but only for a very short period of time. I think you should maybe consult a Psychiatrist instead of a GP, they know much more about it. I would try clonazepam or Alprazolam Intensol, zoloft or Ativan not saying these are easy to come off, but a little better.
Take care hope this helps.
