Yes Phillipa, I think it's the med most likely to help both your anxiety and depression bar Nardil that you'd be able to tolerate. I think it's possible that you've reached the end of the line with benzos - there's a point you reach after many years of using direct agonists where an increase in dose just doesn't regain the original effect, you just get more side effects, and I think that might be what's happened to you. Lyrica could work well because it increases GABA but doesn't act directly at the benzodiazepine receptor. Given that you seem to respond well to GABAergic 'downers' and that Lyrica is good for depression, it seems the most logical choice in your case.
