Hello, My friend has been using pregabalin and it’s really helped him with his anxiety, he gave me some and I self medicated and it worked pretty well, I’m on propranolol and escitalopram and still regularly get anxiety attacks so I want to see if it will help.

I’m also prescribed zopiclone for insomnia but I use it for anxiety as well I want to switch to pregabalin so I don’t feel as drowsy, but my doctor is strict she said she will never prescribe benzodiazepines even though I didn’t ask. 

How do I go about asking her for a pregabalin prescription without being suspicious?
