Lyrica and Neurotin have both caused some of the clouded head feeling. But Lyrica was better overall. I was originally was prescirbed klonipin to take at night for sleep. 1/2 to 1 mg.
Maybe I should go up on the klonipin, and use it during the day as well. My fear is that it may contribute to my depression. I'm also thinking of a low dose beta blocker like Inderal until I can get out of my stressful work situation.
I appreciate you input and good luck to you- Jake
> I did not do well on Lyrica. It didn't help my "social anxiety" at all. Not only was I anxious, but I just felt weird, cloudy headed, out of it. But, everyone is differnt so???
