Why are we studying this?
Why are we studying this?
Other drugs that could be considered for anxiety, such as benzodiazepines and antipsychotics, may become addictive or have serious side effects.
Pregabalin is well tolerated and safe in treating anxiety, but we do not know how well it works with an antidepressant.
The results of the study will let doctors give better advice to those that have not seen improvements and want to add a second medication.

How does it work?
Participants in the study will be given study medication to take alongside their antidepressant.
This medication will randomly be either pregabalin or an identical placebo tablet that will not contain pregabalin.
Participants will take this for just over six months and will be contacted by researchers periodically to check their symptoms.
Participants will then be asked to gradually reduce their medication we will monitor for any withdrawal effects.
