Pregabalin: Pregabalin is supposed to increase GABA which calms the brain. Hopefully the theory is that this will alleviate anxiety, in my clinical experience I have seldom seen it work.

Anxiety: Pregabalin is used for anxiety in addition to its use for seizures. Apparently, your doctor feels your current medications are not doing sufficient job.
