I have it prescribed for nerve pain. It certainly has no effect on my debilitating anxiety Sad

I’ve had it for nerve pain too, but put on weight so changed to pregablin. It didn’t help my anxiety either, I was put on something else for that. Hope it helps you though. I’ve just started taking a camomile supplement which really stops the ‘heart flutters’ I get when I feel anxious, might be worth a try.

Ashwaganda is v good for anxiety. Worth a try.

@Ironicpentameter I actually started taking That a last winter. I suffer with sad a bit so started taking it and vitamin d . I’m not sure how much each has helped but I do think there is a reduction

Yes, me too, and the vit D. I really do feel it's helped bring my health anxiety down. Supposed to be good for inflammation, too. Make sure you're on the max dose. Also, I find alcohol - even a little - really raises my anxiety and I'm so much better without. X
