Reached out to the one I shouldn't, only to be let down as usual.
The negative voices really talking bad to myself.
Blah, can't do much.

My understanding is that there are some similarities between Lyrica and Gabapentin. I have taken gabapentin. The negative voices may have increased because of what I call the yo yo effect. Gabapentin decreases my anxiety and slows my thinking down so when I am on it then stop taking it, my anxiety and ruminations are worse than normal for about 3 days (withdrawal). Some of the things we beat up our selves about are just "chemical" and "bad habits". Don't beat up on yourself so much--I bet the voices will calm down soon.....
