generalized anxiety disorde
"Lived with a severe generalized anxiety disorder for the last 10 years, last 5 years particularly full of anguish and "crippling" discomfort. Always misdiagnosed as a depression: been on SSRIs for 4 years with no success; also resistant to benzodiazepines. I was starting to believe I'd have to live like this forever until today! I got my very first dose of Lyrica (just a tiny 25mg) and after it kicked in (4 hours) I've been feeling myself, like I didn't since I was a boy! Layers of heavy bricks lifted away from my chest, and I finally feel like any human is supposed to feel. Today is undoubtedly the happiest day of my last 5 years. I feel lighthearted and motivated, serene and willing to restart my life like I was born again."
