Generalized Anxiety Disorde
"I&#039;m a 50 year old former alcoholic, sober for 23 years. While an active AA member over these years I&#039;ve found that I still suffered from extreme shyness and anxiety around others.  Doctor gave me some samples of Lyrica for Restless Leg Syndrome and I found that it made me quite sociable, talkative and able to let go some of my inhibitions, but without the sloppiness and horrible side effects as something like alcohol.  I&#039;ve tried Benzos and found they just made me feel dulled out and depressed.  Lyrica, used periodically (a few times a month) never fails to brighten my mood and make me feel a bit closer to people.  On the downside it also makes me feel closer to food. It&#039;s very helpful for me."
