medication for GAD and Depression caused by Mixed Mood Disor

Hi. After many years struggling with my Mental Health, I was recently diagnosed by a Psychiatrist who says I have a Mixed Mood Disorder, and resulting severe Anxiety and Depression issues. He started me on Pregabalin in March this year, and I was responding well, but over the past 2 months, my anxiety has got much worse again, and I'm also starting to have suicidal thoughts again. I've been told Pregabalin/Lyrica works well initially but the effect wears off rapidly and people then need bigger and bigger doeses to keep themselves stable.As I have already got significant worries about using it, should I ask for another medication as this is obviously not working, is it simply the case that my issues can't be resloved at this stage due to my diagnosi, and I just need to live with them??
