Non benzo meds for anxiety

[Davix]

I don't think lyrica is non addictive, have read it is not as bad to come off as traditional benzos, i hoped i might get offered it to help with the pain from nerve damage in my neck but alas no, as it has rec abuse potential dr refuses to prescribe it, but its ok to prescribe me gabbapentin which is addictive and if you go without you have the risk of seizures, so its ok to get me addicted to gabbapentin plus the awful mirtazapine but lyrica is a no no,have slowly come off mirtazapine but i cant say i feel too well, feel very disconnected from reality.

I may look for melatonin as well as it sounds like it may be helpful.

I was just prescribed Lyrica for anxiety. Have not started it yet but I feel ya about what is considered addictive and what is not. So many of todays antidepressants are addictive and present horrible withdrawal symptoms yet they are prescribed without a thought. Its so sad that the war on drugs has ended up directed against the people who really need help with their pain. Many blessings to ya...
