How much escitalopram were you on and how long did you take sertraline and amitriptyline for and at what dose?
I'm still suffering bad anxiety im only on 150mg pregabalin and 30mg mirtazapine having a review with psychiatrist 26th jan wondering if you think an increase in pregabalin would help? many thanks x
Increasing the pregabalin dose will probably help as 150mg is at the low end of the 150-450mg dose range for anxiety.
However, imo pregabalin and mirtazapine are not great long-term meds for these disorders either individually, or combined though they can be useful in calming things down in situations like yours where a med, or meds have failed.
