Geno,
Years ago, when GHB was still legal, I overdosed on the stuff. I passed out and had a seizure. I'll never forget the way I felt right before the seizure. I felt electric shocks traveling along my forearm (along the "funnybone" nerve) and my hands started clenching and unclenching without me "telling" them to (as if I was trying to do one-handed claps). That was the last thing I remember before losing consciousness. Gabitril made me feel the exact same way along the same nerve...and I had some twitching in my hands that mimicked my GHB experience. In other words, I felt like the Gabitril but me in a pre-convulsive state identical to the state I was in prior to my GHB induced seizure. I don't know what the significance of this is...but, if you're comming *off* Xanax, taking GHB and adding Gabitril...man...I would be really careful.Good luck,
MB
