[An anti-anxiety drug which is prescribed
to more than eight million people
in Britain has been linked to thousands
of deaths in the past five years,
it has been revealed.

Concerns have been raised about the
impact of pregabalin, which is used by
doctors to treat anxiety, as well as epilepsy
and nerve pain, with one saying
prescribing it is like
'selling a car without brakes'.

Use of the drug can lead to dependency,
with some people becoming addicted to
the 'euphoria' that taking it can cause,
while others become reliant on the
relaxing feelings it can induce.]
