My pdoc gave some free samples of Gabatril, and said that some of his colleagues have had good success with it for anxiety patients. I've tried 2, 4, and 6 mg and all it did was make me a bit sleepy. I haven't done a real trial, just occasional use, but I wasn't very impressed, positively or negatively. Klonopin is vastly better for me for anxiety although again, I didn't give Gabatril a very serious try . I have heard that it's being used with some success for insomnia. Like so many of these meds, what works for some may be neutral (or negative) for others, so it really takes some trial and error. But there are enough meds out there now that the chances of improvement are excellent if you're just willing to put up with some failures.
