Pregabalin is an anti-convulsant more widely used for neuropathic pain. Though it has been well established as being effective for anxiety.
Yes it sounds like it would be helpful to think of some coping and distraction techniques for when you are away from home. A friend told me to describe my surroundings in detail when I feel anxious, and I tried it in London when I started to panic on the underground. In my head I looked at the man opposite, started with his shoes and described everything I could notice about them, then moved on to describing the train and the posters I could see and so on. It really helped to halt that panic before it could get a grip of me.
