What is the effect of drugs like Neurontin and Lyrica for the treatment of anxiety and depression?

Hi SAC,

There is a great resource for information about medications here at healthcentral.com. You can read about many medications commonly prescribed in the Anxiety and Depression drugs databases. However, Neurontin and Lyrica are not commonly prescribed for Anxiety and Depression. Specifically you can read about Neurontin here and Lyrica here. Neurontin is usually prescribed for seizures and Lyrica is usually prescribed for pain, particularly for folks who have fibromyalgia.

If you have been prescribed these medications, it's best to speak to your doctor about the effects on any condition you might have. Also, if you are taking other medications in addition to these, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist about any interactions. While online sites are great places to get the information you need to speak to your doctor, they can not take the place of your doctor's solid medical advice.

I hope this helps somewhat. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
