Comparing Pregabalin vs Sertraline

For Generalized Anxiety Disorder It was not perfect but it was the most effective drug against anxiety that I've ever taken. My dose was 75mgx2/day. I was able to drive while on it. I actually drove better because I wasn't so easily startled. I needed less sleep. I normally need 10-11 hours of sleep a night in order to not feel sleep deprived. With this medication I needed only eight. I felt more connected to people and myself. Less dissociation, so to speak. I wasn't so sore all the time and I had a regular amount of energy. It was not effective against intense feelings of panic and stopping it was a bit troublesome. I experienced withdrawal symptoms for a month. They were severe the first week but became more tolerable as time went by. My body ached during that time and I felt endlessly tired. The reason why I stopped this medication was because of concerns about addiction.

For Generalized Anxiety Disorder Works great; happy with it. Has helped greatly

For Depression 19 yr old male going on 20. Had been suffering from extreme anxiety, depression, paranoia, intrusive thoughts for the best part of a year. Day to day life was a living hell and I rapidly began to lose any motivation and hope I had left. Started on 50mg, probably made things worse for first 4 weeks, upped to 100mg, wouldn't class it as life changing, anxiety and thoughts are still there, but a lot less intense. Much chirpier and can finally engage in day to day life with a lot more ease and comfort without feeling completely messed up and hopeless. Would recommend, just hang on in there. Things do get better.

For Depression Long story short. I have suffered depression for 20+ years and anxiety for the last year which led me to resign from a stressful management position, my co worker recommended zoloft, my GP started me on 50mg which I took for 2 weeks, my dose was increased to 100mg, it has now been about 6 weeks, I had very few side affects for a few days, slight insomnia, loss of appetite (have lost quite a few kgs) and a little jaw clenching, I feel a lot calmer, I have a little more interest in activities, showering, cooking and cleaning more which are all great results, family members have noticed subtle changes, laughing/smiling and doing more, In saying that I feel as though my dose needs to be increased but will give it 2 weeks, Give it time:)
