> smapper, my heart goes out to you. I started gabitril just a few days before you did and for a little while thought it might work for me, i could sleep 4 1/2 hrs then later 1 or 2 hrs. then things became worse, i could only sleep 1 or 1 1/2 hrs up for 4 and maybe 1 more hr. my thoughts became somewhat parinoid and strangly instead of feeling tired and sleepy i was more energetic with a little hostility thrown in, this frighten me and i went back to zyprexa, after 2 days i'm nearly back to normal.
> what i'm trying to say is talk to your dr about the gabitril, it may be causing problems for you too. don't stop suddenly as that can cause problems too. just ask about it, ok.
> all my best.you might be right ,in that the Gabatril could be causing me more problems, but I just have such a hard time telling extreme anxiety apart from extreme paradoxical med. side effects. Does that sound crazy or what? I already DON'T take my Gabatril the night before and the morning of my ECT treatments.Because it would interfere with the overall therapuetic benefit and outcome of the ECT. But at the same time, how can I know if it is doing me any good on the days I do take it?
It is very frustrating! It makes me feel totally hopless in a lot of ways!
