I take serzone but as we all know, it is going off the market so am weaning off and about to wean on to Gabitril. Any one have any experience with this drug? I am taking it for anxiety.

I tried Gabitril to treat bipolar depression. It was of no help, and actually produced anxiety and some dysphoria.
At best, I think this drug can provide some relief from mild to moderate anxiety and insomnia. However, it is not a very consistent drug in that it doesn't seem to help a clear majority of people.

My former pdoc gave me some samples of the stuff--she had been to some conference where it was hyped like the greatest since sliced bread--but all it did was keep me awake all night. I've had much better results with Zyprexa and even Klonopin.

I take Gabatril. At first it created insomnia. My pdoc had a hard time understanding why. But after reading the above posts, I see Im not the only one. I also felt a little bit silly, kind of loosened up a little bit. That onty lasted several days though.
One thing I can note about Gabatril is; The higher my dose in the evening I feel groggy in the morning.
Best Wishes,
Cindy
