Yes, I really don't like the Gabitril. My Pdoc keeps pushing it but I find my anxiety is worse on it and my mood really depressed. Do you have any experience with Neurontin? I tried that in the past and liked the calming feeling but I'm reading some scary posts about it now like with worsening rapid cycling, etc.
