Pregabalin
"I was diagnosed with GAD when I was 18.  I have tried every medication under the sun and some SNRIs have helped and benzos killed the anxiety but became extremely dependent and addicted to them.  I was prescribed pregabalin for GAD in 2013, and noticed just like others on this board, that it helped my depression too.  It doesn't kill the anxiety in its tracks like benzos do, but it makes the anxiety MANAGEABLE.  I have been on pregabalin for two years now and started @ 100mg 2x a day.  My does was increased to 150mg 3x a day(450mg daily) after a few months and feel like life is now manageable.  This is the best I have ever felt and ever done in my life.  It also helps me focus.  I plan on staying on it for the rest of my life and am only 32"
