Re: Pregabalin (Lyrica) for Social Phobia

In reply to Pregabalin (Lyrica) for Social Phobia, posted by jclint on November 6, 2004, at 18:32:04

Hello John...
Here in the UK pregabalin is licensed for the treatment of epilepsy (prevention of partial seizures) and also for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It is not licensed for the treatment of anxiety or social phobia. Since it is still very new, it is quite possible that your doc might not have heard of it!! Despite the fact that it isn't licensed for SP, your doc could still prescribe it if he/she felt that it was suitable.
In terms of benzos, clonazepam is only licensed for the treatment of epilepsy in the UK. Your doc might be more comfortable with the idea of using a different benzo, probably diazepam.
All the best...
Ed.
