Meddy, it is true what you say about anxiety and psychic/mental pain. Unless someone has experienced it, very few others understand. Even loved ones who have witnessed the effects and behaviors of extreme emotion or experience in the afflicted can forget how pervasive and persistent this anguish can be. There are a few people in my life that I have met, notably a psychiatrist or rare therapist or nurse here and there who somehow can understand and see this sort of pain while they themselves remain immune to the extremes. I really don't know how they do it.

I would imagine being an MD would complicate your situation in many ways.

So you will withdraw the Lyrica? I am curiuos why it is so toxic myself, having had my own experiences on it. I was
prescribed it for pain and hoping it could also replace my AD. A kind of double duty. It failed completely to affect pain, but was an odd med. If it hadn't wrecked cognitive functions for me, I might have stayed on it. The effects of diminishing anxiety were extraordinary. I did, though have about two rage
episodes which scared me so badly that I called my doctor and insisted on being withdrawn. I remember yelling about the amount of chocolate cake my son was being given less than an hour before bed. I mean going on and on. While
rationally, I know I would have always thought giving him that much sugar+chocolate then expecting to hop into bed and sleep was wrong, my response was unlike any normal protestation. I witnessed myself go on and on, but could not stop. Horrible. I really don't know what that medication was doing....

I appreciate the fuller elucidation of your story and symptomology, and I hope you do not feel a need to justify yourself. You're welcome here.
