If you are anxious speak to your doctor about the risks (the odds are likely small for the major ones) and make your decision from there.

Being a mental health victim is like being dealt a really sh#tty hand, in a game that we cannot quit, with cards that we cannot fold, just gotta keep playing the game somehow..and no one realizes this how hard it gets for us..The only way i CAN take my meds is when i see others take the same med in large numbers.. that lets me know im not alone..Lyrica is rarely seen mentioned in the forums, so the feeling that im alone taking this med scares the hell out of me..No matter how hard i try i cannot deal with that..Im just gonna ask my doc to switch to something harmless like BUspar maybe..and apologize to him for my inability to take Lyrica. God does it have to be this hard, do we have to live in so much fear all the time..
