did my go prescribe the right medicines for my social and performance anxiety
age 30 gender male medications started lyearica pregabalin yesterday 25mg moving to 50mg tomorrow issues generalized anxiety social and performance anxiety query did my go prescribe the right meds I mainly suffer with social and performance anxiety talking to people talking in groups meetings at work etc for the past 10 years my voice breaks when I talk and I have a chronic dry mouth from stress anxiety every day even when off meds I worry and overthink lot about what others think of me I have tried amitriptyline tricyclic antidepressant when I was in my early 20 im 30 now and also tried lexapro and zoloft in more recent years but they did not do much for me and gave me lot of annoying side effects I have tried beta blockers too for the past years I have been medication free but every day becomes tougher and tougher to get through due to symptoms of anxiety I would not say I have low mood or depression I have tried benzos also and I did abuse them for a few months and had to go through a horrible withdrawal I have not touched them in over years my new go recommended I try lyearica pregabalin and wants to see how it goes for a couple of weeks in battling my anxiety im starting on 25mg once daily and moving to 50mg tomorrow or next week which is a low dose does this make sense to try with my history I have a chronic dry mouth from chronic stress and anxiety and most drugs make my mouth way worse the doc also mentioned possibly trying amitriptyline again too if lyearica does not work of course I very anxious about the side effects any advice would be appreciated
