Gabitril CAUSES seizures in many people that have already had them, especially from abuse of other meds like benzos , as your seizure threshold is already lowered. The FDA put out a black box warning on this earlier this year.
I would not suggest using it. It also can be addiciting and abusing and cause seizures while ON IT.
Try eating a larage amount of carbohydrates before bedtime, this will put you to sleep, or try tryptophan. These actually do work. Intractable sleep problems, I had also, the key is to stay up for many days stright, your body will automatically release endorphins since it is stress and make you fall asleep. Do this for awhile and take NO drugs whatsoever and your sleep cycle will eventually return to normal. Get a light box and wake up and goto sleep at exact same time every night.
