My pdoc says that some of his colleagues have found it very helpful for anxiety, so he gave me some samples. It just made me sleepy, but I really didn't give it a decent try (about 6-8 mg max). The drug trials used about 54 mg, as I recall.
It is becoming somewhat popular as a sleep drug, from what I understand. I found it very mild at low doses with short-term use, although some others here have reported agitation. I think it's worth a try.

Do you think you'll try the high dose memantine?
Did high dose parnate help you?
What has helped you the most?
Does the lamictal help?
Thanks, Eric

what is your dose of gabritril? Have you been taking it long? I'm happy to hear that it seems to be working for you. I wish that I could say the same.

I'm glad that it is working for you. My doc has me taking 4 mg at bedtime, I/m not thrilled with it yet. Thanks.
