I believe that Lyrica is on the track to get FDA approval for
anxiety. It has already been approved for anxiety use in Europe in 2006.

If it makes it through our FDA here for anxiety, I think you
will see its use in bipolar patients, borderline patients, and GAD
patients.

Its cousin Neurontin was tried for bipolar off label, and did not
work. It will be interesting to see if Lyrica which is chemically related makes the grade.
