Any positive stories about pregabalin / anxiety disorders

DF has been diagnosed with GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) and started on pregabalin. It all spiralled out of control a week ago - with him starting to have whole days of extreme anxiety (he seems truly tortured).
We're in a very dark place right now, but I've seen people can live with this given the right treatment and support.
If you have time, I'd love to hear any positive stories. Especially keen to know how long it took you to regain some sense of living normally (at present he can't go out or mamage to see anyone at home without crumbling)
Thank you

me too: GAD diagnosis and pregabalin (1 year+); i still suffer anxiety but i haven't had so many crises trips to the hospital, i could say it has a relaxing effect on me when i take them. sorry can't say more. i hope it helps your DF and gives him much relief. i'm interested to hear other experiences of PG too.
