I have taken Lyrica for 2 years now. It has worked well for pain mostly the entire time. I am not sure about the anxiety except for the stress that is relieved after my pain starts to subside. I am supposed to only take up to 600 mg a day (per manufacturer) however, I am taking almost 1200 a day on some days that the pain is exceptionally high. This causes mild dizziness, and will cause some very awkward headaches when first taking the Lyrica. After 3 days, I no longer get the headaches.
Since Lyrica works on the nerve sites that distribute the pain signals, it takes a good week to get down to that level. I hope this helps in some way answer your question.
