I'm on 30mg of valium, co-codys 30/500 4 a day, mirtazapine and zopiclone 7.5mg. My question is I have read pregablin can be used for off-label for anxiety and pain. I suffer mild back pain and my GP won't give me 8 painkillers a day (got a long history of drug and alcohol abuse) so I'm having to move GPs would it be worth asking for (I prefer to be honest) without my benzos and cocodomals being reduced or replaced? I don't really want to substitute for my script I'm getting now but has anyone any experience with this for anxiety or pain rather than getting wasted?
