HI
I have anxiety disorder mainly social but general and a bit of panic. Interested in and have tried topiramate, gabapentin, pregabalin, clonazepam(benzo/anticonvulsant, but not vigabatrin or tiagabine. had good results with pregabalin and gabapentin but my pdoc wouldnt let me stay on the dose needed for relief as was slightly above the RDA. Clonazepam was far too strong. i am now on lorazepam which i know is not an anticonvulsant but tolerate much better than clonazepam. have got 50% remission after being on it for a long time. I would like to ask is topiramate consistent in its effect or does it not provide a smooth ride for people with anxiety as i was not on it that long . vigabatrin sounds scary because of the vision problems and im not sure about tiagabine. i like the souynd of topiramate because it works on gaba a and would work syngernistically with lorazepam but what could be its pitfalls. at the end of the day i just have to try it but for whatever reason its not effective enough i dont think vigabatrin is available to people with mood disorders because of the severe side effect mentioned and more info is needed for me on tiagabine. if you respond ill keep trying to run this thread because theres so much i want to ask. thanks paulb
