> I'm curious about it too -- my pdoc gave me a box of 2 mg samples to try and said "see what you think". He advised me to dose very conservatively at first. Apparently, he's heard good things about it from colleagues who treat anxiety patients, but hasn't yet prescribed it himself.

The Strattera is working out well, so I'll try the Gabitril fairly soon and report back on it.It is interesting they reduced the smallest dose size from 4mg to 2mg. I wonder how their clinical trials are going. I just don't like the dumbomax experience of taking the medication. I didn't have that trouble with gabapentin, but I got chest wall muscle spasm from that. If pregabalin doesn't cause that problem, I will be on pregabalin over tiagabine because I can think on that one.
