I just read where Dr Oz has recommened it for pain and there are numerous articles on the internet concerning its uses for anxiety as well. I checked it out on Amazon and the reviews were mixed but I think I'm going to give it a shot as many people have claimed it works for them.
The Chinese name for corydalis is yan hu suo. It's one of the main pain-relieving herbs in Chinese herbalism (but doesn't work on the opiate receptors). I used it after I had surgery and it helped significantly. It's a bit sedating, so I can see how it could be used for anxiety.

I may look for melatonin as well as it sounds like it may be helpful.
Lyrica is basically a stronger version of Neurontin. For me, Lyrica is about 4x stronger (300 mg Lyrica feels similar to 1200 mg Neurontin).
If you really want to try Lyrica, there are online pharmacies that sell it.
