[|Human|] I ve been suffering with anxiety for 18 months, which has lead to some depression . I am taking pregablin and xanax and have just started to feel quite odd in the past hour - lack of mind focus and I now have tingling in one side of my face - much like when coming round from a dental anaesthetic. Is this most likely a nervous problem? Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Your symptoms are likely to be anxiety-related, and don't seem to be typical of specific medical problem. Now, it is important to understand that anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms, but with physical symptoms also. If you are having recurrent such symptoms or having difficulty managing your anxiety / depression, then I would advise you review with psychiatrist for further treatment. There are other effective medication like SSRI antidepressants which can help you with both your anxiety and depressive symptoms. In addition, there effective psychological therapies like CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) which can help you deal with your problems. Trying relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, and engaging in regular physical exercise can also be benefit in controlling your symptoms.  Wish you all the best. -
