> I was just started on Gabitril for bipolar spectrum. I was also started on Zoloft for OCD, Panic Disorder, PTSD, and GAD. I am very scared of side effects and especially of weight gain. I have an eating disorder as well. I would appreciate any information anyone could give me about these meds. Thank you in advance.
Interesting. When I was taking Gabitril I was also taking Zoloft (12.5mg/day) for BP-II and panic. I was switched from Depakote to Gabitril and noticed definite weight loss-but that could have been stopping the Depakote. But, I definitely lost several pounds over the course of the two months I was taking it. Other than the dumbing effect during the day, I didn't have any other side effects that I can think of. I hope more folks will jump in that have tried it.
