As I explained to you Phillipa, the internist probably isn't psych drug savvy (nor is the new pdoc judging by his performance so far). He'll probably have looked in the PDR and seen indications for pain and epilepsy and not thought of off-label uses. Lyrica is licensed for anxiety in Europe but not yet in the US for some reason. Many people here have been prescribed Lyrica off-label for anxiety and depression.
