Anyone taken any of these? Apparently they take two to three weeks to work and can have really bad side effects including a lot of drowsyness. I work full time including driving. But apparently they sometimes work really well. Should I try them? What's your experience? Anyone tried them and they've worked?

I take both (Fluoxetine and Pregablin) and while I find them a big help (with depression, anxiety and nerve pain) they did initially make me VERY drowsy (especially the Pregabalin). Be very careful driving (I'm surprised your GP didn't mention this). I actually took 2 weeks off work to get over the initial side effects but they usually do get better over time.
