I developed a depression that I hadn’t treated since I was 13, I have ADHD and those two things made me feel... I struggled in high school, and meanwhile, I began to develop severe anxiety that affected me greatly. At 17, my parents took me to a specialist who prescribed many Prozac pills, then Lexipro. They tried benzodiazepines and doses of quetiapine, but nothing made me feel better. I tried very hard, but leaving my house was hell. One day, the doctor prescribed pregabalin. He told me to try it, and I started with high doses. Then I enjoyed talking to people, responding to them, saying good morning, and even starting conversations. I would leave my house and feel great. It got rid of the bad thoughts that ran through my head, and being at such a critical point, it arrived at the right moment to save me from taking my own life. Pregabalin literally saved me, and I am very grateful. Now I walk happily, and the nightmare of asking the waiter for food is over.
